That “parcel of land” identified by the deed is the object in question.  

I recommend setting yourself up with other individuals in your area and try to use the same resources and vett or filter out the contractor that doesn’t meet your standards or business model. 

@Mel ParkI don't think your reserves for maintenance and Capex are at all realistic, I use 15% of gross rents for them combined but I've seen some people on here use 20%.That being said, it sounds like you're a high net worth individual so your aim is to diversify and not chase the largest return which is justifiable.

The theory is that if you own an individual asset in an individual LLC, your exposure to liability is limited to that individual asset, and a faulted party cannot come after any other assets, personal or business.

The tenant is just one individual.

If they are individual units, is it better for you to live there and give up your 2 story duplex?

Are they objective in their decisions for both sides or did they seem biased in their decisions?

Do I subcontract out all the individual skills or try to find a handyman that can accomplish a wider array of items (like outlets, lighting fixtures, exhaust fans, LVP flooring, etc.) and then hire subs for specialty items (roof, siding repair, painters, etc.)?

@Sean Barnebey you're really looking at two different individuals. 

I'm definitely struggling with the "shiny object" syndrome that I've heard about on the podcasts because I can't seem to figure out how to just hone in on one location and then build from there.But, assuming I can get past that hurdle and since wherever I look will be pretty far (aka not driveable), does anyone have any thoughts about whether it's realistic to try and buy a multifamily project without first visiting it?
