I know its costing more than ever per lead but I would love to hear from everyone sending direct mail regarding the following;My answers below!

Thanks for everyone's comments/advice, even though it wasn't officially directed at me. 

In an ideal world, we could 'expense' the reno cost on the new home from the rental income from our old home.Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

But went about it this way because I am closing on other properties in my own name right now so we used just the father's financials to qualify for this particular one, and the mortgage market does not allow lending directly to an LLC anymore.Simply put, our goal for tax reporting is to divide all rental income for this one property equally in to thirds, and to do the same for all expenses (mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.).

I am definitely planning to be-safe and register an LLC for each state.What is the ideal-way to register the parent-LLC (holding company) in this situation? 

If a sellers agent is aware of any material defect, they most certainly DO have to tell a buyer, even if the seller directs them not to disclose.
