Thank you all for the encouraging words. 

.• Is it easier to finance as a Canadian using a DSCR loan, a foreign national loan, or personal income, and can projected STR income be used?

I've inherited a modest real-estate portfolio: 23 doors across 2 multifamily properties, 3 SFH long-term rentals, 2 condo long-term rentals, and 2 single family homes that were personal use that I'd like to transition to short-term rentals.

Even if you have a LLC, the LLC would get sued but the person who is responsible is you.  

Search the county probate court recordsMost probate filings are public.In many counties (including Alabama), you can search online for:the deceased owner’s nameestate filingsopen probate casesIf it’s in probate, you’ll usually see an estate case with a personal representative listed.2.

If your chances of saving your a…. by simply having each property in a LLC rather than personally is small, say 1 out of 200.  

All these strategies depend greatly on location, layout and your personal comfort level.   

Quote from @Tyler Foshe: Quote from @Srinivasa Subramanian: @Tyler Foshe based on my experience in calling previous landlords, these are the questions that we usually ask.Pro tip - Always verify that the person you’re talking to is actually the landlord or manager. 1.

I encourage value-add plays, strongly. 

Do you ever network LOCALLY, in real life, in person, form local trust relationships and get personal recommendations and referrals?
