Regarding driveway repair from a technical standpoint:1.

These lenders also tell me that while I can move it to an LLC after the purchase, however, they technically could call the loan from me and require it to be paid off in full or moved back under my personal name.

and does anybody know what my obligations are as a landlord since the cats are technically the property of the tenant?

True, technically we could cash advance our credit cards, pull from retirement funds (Roth IRA, 401k and mutual funds), but we really really don't want to.I apologize for not poking around on the forums enough to answer this question myself, I tried for a few hours but couldn't find an answer with enough similarity or that could help out enough (I am absolutely sure there is, I just wasn't looking in the right places).Assuming we find a duplex/triplex that looks absolutely perfect to 2 general home inspectors and it comes with 1 vacancy (for us) and the rest rented with leases and they are perfect tenants.

However, keep in mind, that technically, you should file as a foreign entity in the other state to achieve true limited liability protection in that state.

You could technically use a conventional loan for house hacking but I would suggest using the FHA and making just a 3.5% down payment and saving the rest of your capital for another income producing property.

As we continue to build our own portfolio of properties, I am considering opening my own property management company in my core market.Based on my experience and study, I feel the local property management complanies are not that sophisticated and I have access to deed records and other resources that I can get to the owners of over 1500 properties on the platforms pretty easily. 

Of course for more technical work, I would still hire a contractor.

But that's technically the cheapest as far as I can tell.I'd also urge you to revisit that calculator report you initially posted about and add those other monthly expenses in ;)

Thus, technically still in seller's market.
