Lawyers tend not to go after assets that have no significant equity.I do agree that if there is a plan to sell this property then having it in its own entity can be beneficial, but if your plan is to cross collateralize the equity of your portfolio this could limit that ability.

The people here tend to speak out of both sides of their mouths simultaneously.However, it is a great place to do business and the opportunities are here for risk versus reward.

Those properties tend to cost much more to purchase.

Also I tend to partner with various people, so it makes my set up pretty straight forward.Most accountants will tell you it may be over-board if you are planning on buying one or two.

Speaking for myself... we provide our customers realistic schedules, and we're good at sticking to them (Barring acts of God or delays beyond our control)I would tend to say that if you have a contractor that you have to prod to get to completion dates, you've either hired the wrong kind of contractor or you set an unrealistic completion date.TL;DR - Hire a professional who will do what he said he will do.

If you have houses that tend to be nicer than the competition, then you will get flooded with section 8 applicants but also have no problem attracting quality non section 8 applicants that are willing to pay just a bit more.Regarding the full voucher amount...in my area, that means you rent to them all bills paid.  

Indy college rentals aren't as good as the usual college town rental [like Indiana University in Bloomington].The rents tend to be a little low and turn over is high - which is to be expected.The homes themselves are mostly older homes and tend to be priced higher than the same home in other neighborhoods with similar rent.
