@Joseph Cacciapaglia I would focus on finding someone who is incredibly talented and wouldn't be so stressed that they are an investor.

Loan wouldre-set to 30 years, but principle and interest would be reduced by about$275/month.Original loan was 354k - refinance would be for 327k+ .05% VA funding fee.

can reduce capital gain by 15%,,delay 4-10 years or even avoit it after 10 years...3- A $12M commercial building can save up to $600k taxes every year if you can qualify4- Can save up to 28% in expenses every year if you have a maufacture, laboratory, dentist, doctor, storage office, etc...Pretty powerful... 

Based on what you are looking for, I am willingly to bet that the land + building a 4-unit townhouse will exceed VA entitlement - unless you have the resources to reduce cost significantly or the funds to fill in the gap.

Since it’s my first one, I want to reduce the friction points as much as possible so I’m focusing most of my attention in areas where I have trusted people.

I have never worked with a client involved in a lawsuit who regretted having an LLC but the opposite has generated a lot of stress for unprotected investors.

I am trying to figure out the real motive of doing so – is it multiple owners with some of them leaving or owners reducing their investment or some other reason…2) Since I will end up owning only 10% of the doors how do I ensure equal marketing as the doors are still part of a single complex?

The idea is to minimize/reduce that risk and that can be done by having the right teams and people in place.

Maybe reduce your hours or pursue a different career path, in addition to the income provided by your rentals?

And since many lenders won't loan  on any purchase that is too low that reduces it even farther.
