If anyone has any recommendations of groups/individuals who share that common interest, I would be much obliged.

There isn't even a place on the Schedule E to put the LLC name/EIN in an individual return. 

If you own the property as an individual and someone files a lawsuit against you, then all assets in your name are at stake. 

I would also blog about the entire process, start building a thought leadership platform and connecting with more investors so that I could scale from 8-15 to 30-50 and eventually up to 75+.

Surely some deserve it due to the executive orders that have been imposed on landlords. https://public.domo.com/embed/...In addition to this, there appears to be some funding (being paid directly to landlords) for "individuals or families who were not eligible for a federal stimulus check".

(NOTE- this is only my county, I expect every magistrate is currently having to resolve this process individually so results will differ!)

I just took an individual to small claims and was awarded $8,600, but the reality is I will probably never see it. 

This would create some additional capital for our LLC with having a guaranteed buyer, eliminate realtor fees, holding costs, etc, but we would also be able to take advantage of individual mortgage terms - 30 year amortization, 3.5%, for instance, with a separate bank that we have little exposure. 

I had a similar situation in Florida with individuals residing at the residence that had no permission to be there.

@Yongjian Pan Yes, mortgage interest for a rental property is deducted on Schedule E of your individual return against rental income.
