Greatest con is the very pro-tenant regulations that translate to risk that do not justify the cap rates for my preference.

That said, there are different entity types that may be beneficial for a flipping business (LLC, S Corp, C Corp, etc.)For rentals, there is a degree of personal preference - some like to have a separate LLC for each investment, some use Series LLCs, some group a few investments in a single LLC until a certain threshold of equity is met, like @Tanvir Sattar mentioned.Although, I don't typically agree with that method because the investments within that LLC are still vulnerable to others within that same LLC.

For tenant-facing items, I would prefer to not use my own name.

Fastest path to cash preferred, but ultimate goal is building wealth.

Do you have any preference among these three locations?

I’m worried as even if the property management company is established and professional I want to have greater control over my money and I don’t know what they do with it or whether or not they underpay me.Do property management companies allow the owner to have rent payed into their bank account preferably via an online portal like Buildium where both can manage operations and then the owner pays the property manager their management fee.

Hi,What are some of the most popular sites (preferably free/cheap) for listing rental properties in the Bay Area, CA.

I would prefer owning it long term and use the brrrr strategy or should I just do a traditional rehab and flip.

I would say the main criteria include safety of principal, liquidity, and a rate of return equal to or preferably a bit ahead of inflation.
