It depends on the span and loads.

At the end of the day, you are vetting a sponsor first and SHOULD always hold the most weight compared to the asset class, market, and lastly deal. 

I just want to purchase and load it with renters.

We also preach an open communication channel with our tenants  we also installed wireless water detectors under every sink, the washer, and the boiler room which have been worth their weight in gold because they are super obnoxious which forces tenants to deal with it right away, and it notifies us on our phones when one goes off so we can text directly to open the conversation.

It can take a year or more to find that first person who is willing to take a risk with you, and the weight on one's shoulders to perform is immense. 

I'm coming up on the end of 10 years of service and am jumping into the civilian world and want to make sure I'm not starting with lead weights on my ankles!

Sometimes you can verbally or text negotiate, but a written offer holds more weight and the expiration applies pressure.

We have a "Variables Section" where we load in all of the variables such as As Repaired Value (ARV), rehab budget, Loan information (interest rate, points, etc), estimated turn time (buy-rehab-sell...or whatever you are doing), a reserve for unexpected contingencies, and our proposed buy price (we have a lot more variables we load...these are simply the examples).

It is just the way some people are I guess, however I just can't stop moving just because my SO don't want to move (please keep the advice just in the RE part, not in the relationship part).I wouldn't have money for vacancies, but considering that would be pretty much what I currently pay for rent, I don't know if give it so much weight for making a decision.My biggest concern is that I wouldn't have an emergency fund for anything.

I'm going to speak with an attorney soon, and I'm "loaded for bear" as we say in my neck of the woods, but just so many questions keep coming up and I just cannot land on a conclusion on the subject of an LLC.
