Just the opposite is true.

@Matthew Dovner That's most likely true that you wouldn't have as much maintenance/repairs each month for a rehabbed property as a distressed property.

I see people discussing it, but I’ve heard the taxes will go up under an LLC; is this true?

When the "TRUST" department finds you want to self direct, they'll tell you they can't do it, which is true, they can't.If you can find a bank officer to listen to you, tell them you need a business savings and checking account similar to the ones they set up for A-B revocable trusts.

That's certainly going to be true for a turnkey where you have no choice but to use a PM.

While I own numerous duplexes and SFRs, this will be my first true apartment building.

i dont have any advice, as this is a true grey area I would assume, but I love the Door being Repaired!!!

It always amazes me how many companies run so inefficiently and ineffectively - the same is true with RE investors.

The statement that you can easily hire a contractor is true, but also true is that you can easily hire a real estate agent.

It's true Austin proper is very tough for cash flow right now, but there are lots of good areas in central Texas where you can buy and hold.
