If the LLCs are created in the right way and are maintained as they should be, this structure will separate the properties for limited liability purposes, and the liability generated a property owned by a single LLC will not touch the properties owned by the other 2 LLCs. 

But these do generate some leads for me. 

If you can hack your primary, generate enough revenue from that you can then find another property to invest in.

This would provide me the capital necessary to fund my real estate business and get it off the ground and also provide a conservative reserve for unknown expenses.Effectively, I'd be making the decision that I can actively manage my real estate portfolio in a way that will generate a return better than the stock market (index funds via 401(k)).I've been a passive index fund investor for years and the thought of decreasing my retirement account contribution is painful.

@Karen Chenaille We would love to see the screenshot of your report generated using the OwnerRez integration. 

. :)We constantly get comments about how well equipped our home is and I think it is a major driving force behind our all 5 star reviews.

I wouldn't pay $650 mo to advertise your home in TIME magazine, the sources your using should generate plenty of quality leads, I think the problem is elsewhere.Is the home nice and clean?

My strategy is to play the long game and generate marginal cashflow while I hope/wait for continued appreciation (in equity and rental rates). 

I may be wrong in assuming this but MOST agents have your best interest, it's how they generate more business by making sure you have a good experience.

They supposedly generate state-compliant rental agreements.
