Hello, 

What is the Impact of NAR Commission decision on leasing commissions ? Are the landlords still expected to pay commission to agents on both sides, leasing and showing ?

Thanks in advance

Hey Gang, my property insurance keeps going up. Am currently with Farmers. Are there reliable  better alternates ? Also, are there insurance providers who insure multiple single family rentals and is it a better deal for the landlord? 

Thanks in advance ! 

All my rentals are financed and their mortgages (Freddie/Fannie) are in good standing. What does it take to house them under a LLC ? Do the lenders have any concern ?

Few of my rentals are marginally either cashflow + or -, depending on the year, vacancy rate etc. Does LLC setup passthrough rental losses to offset my W2 income ?

Thank you Roman and Jeremy. Which is more cost effective for the property owner ? Consolidated or separate ?

If one has multiple SFH (single family home) rentals is it possible to get one consolidated insurance policy to cover all the properties ?

Hi, i found a very good single storied house in a developing area (Prosper) in North Dallas. The house is in a very nice peaceful residential community , home schools are highly rated. The house is unfortunately in a T intersection, the dining within the house is on left side and exactly facing the road of the "T". However, the front yard is quite big with few steps as pathway to the house's entrance door

Given it is a facing a T intersection, will i be constrained in leasing this house to tenants ?

Thanks in advance

Given it is a facing a T intersection, i have couple of questions (1) Will i be constrained in leasing this house to tenants (2) In the future, will i be constrained in resale of this house 

Thanks in advance

Thank you all for the rich inputs. How much cash reserves should i plan ? As i shared earlier, each rental of mine is financed 80% of the home value. Do i need to plan for my entire monthly payments for the total duration of a potential recession, or, is it some part of either ?

Thanks in advance

Am a SFH rental investor, though, relatively new. I have not seen the prior recession(s). Would like to pick the expert brain of yours on specific questions pertaining to rental income during recession :

• Do tenants typically lose jobs ? If so, how do they pay rents ? Or, do they stop paying , or do they use credit card or savings for the rent payments?
• Do the tenants purposely damage the property per their frustration on the economy ?
• Do the rents go down ? 
• Does these last through the recession period ?
• Overall, what should the landlord be prepared for ? In my case, my rentals are all financed properties

Thanks in advance
