We’re working on what price to go in at, and I want to make a realllyyyy strong offer (the house has a lot of that romance factor), but there’s a dilemma.

I don't know if there's anything I can do for you from here in Hyde Park, but I do have a little capacity in my day-to-day schedule, so if an offer of a pair of helping hands down this way would be welcomed, consider it offered!

I'm also new to the Series LLC, and keep coming across that most folks are not familiar with this format because it's not offered in all states, only about 16 states offer this format.I have a Series LLC in Ohio, and at one point started one in Alabama. 

If the Law and Rules and Lease do not get them to agree to move, you can always Offer to Buy the Keys!

Not sure if everyone has it yet, but the top tier subscription now offers amenity filters.  

I offered to have their grass cut once and they said yes so I did. 

Because of the protections an LLC offers in this space, I'd simply say my non-expert opinion would be to spend a little extra to make a separate LLC for this new home, for the legal protections & to make your taxes less of a headache for you.

I have lenders who charge no points (you'll accept a higher rate), and lenders who can offer lower rates (you'll pay points). 

@Andrew StouseI had 25k to my name 9 years ago and lobbed out a low ball offer that was accepted.

If you are going to invest remotely, I suggest narrowing down the regions/markets you are would like to invest in, then take each step of due diligence to figure out what that market offers, any downsides to not being local, etc.
