Post: How do I structure LLCs after 10 conventional loans?

Hey everyone,

I just bought my first duplex with a conventional loan. My plan is to use all 10 conventional loans over the next 2 years, then switch to DSCR loans.

I'm trying to plan ahead — how do you protect yourself once you start using LLCs? Do I need a separate LLC and bank account for every property?

I’ve heard of holding companies, but not sure how that works without it getting super complicated.

Any tips or simple breakdowns would help a lot. Thanks!

are you building it yourself or you hired a company?

with the capital i have now i can do about 2 /3

Hey guys,

Thinking about doing some new construction build-to-rent in Central Florida. Just wondering if anyone here is already doing it and what your experience has been like.

Is demand strong? Are the numbers working out for you?
Also—any headaches with permits, zoning, or getting financing?

Trying to figure out if it’s worth it vs buying existing rentals or doing flips.

Would appreciate any advice or lessons learned. Thanks!

Im  new to investing in Columbus and noticing a lot of the homes were built in the early 1900s. My biggest concern is structural and foundation issues—should I be worried? Are foundation problems pretty common here, and what should I be looking out for when walking through these older properties? Any advice from people investing in the area would be appreciated!
