They can also add in extra expenses that you do not have added in like snow removal or landscaping.

Taking on money from other investors adds an extra layer of duty. 

I'm glad you have that extra sources of income to help you build your dream.

If anything my understanding of having a property in an LLC adds an extra layer of protection from tenants trying to sue.

Once that happens you can always take out equity to move it around to pay off any and all debts.There also little things you can do to pay a mortgage off or down faster just by playing with the payments, Bi-Weekly, extra payments per year, lump sum. 

If you don't already have a tenant coming in behind them, why wouldn't you allow them to stay an extra day? 

My point was simply that if the "fair market value" is really at the numbers you have stated, then it appears to be a sound investment, even if there is a bit of time... or a few "extra tasks" in getting to that great cash flow spot.

Get a 75% 30-year loan on your current house and turn it into a rentalGet a 75% 30-year loan on the duplex / triplex you are buyingTake all that extra cash you will have after you do the above and buy another property either as a rental or to live inMost investors I know would never get a 15-year loan because they want as much cash as possible going towards either rainy-day funds or for the purchase of more income property. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Take a $100k home you’ve owned for 20 years that’s now worth $300k and start depreciating that extra $200k.
