So it shouldn't put you at any disadvantage if your nightly price is higher (but has AirBnB's cut rolled into it) while other properties have a lower nightly rate but AirBnB's cut is added on top.  

A lot of investors are facing the same challenge with these low-interest "subject to" deals.You're right, refinancing and giving up that 3% rate would be a disadvantage currently, so here are a few alternative options to consider for pulling equity without touching that primary loan:HELOC or Second Position Loan – Some lenders are open to issuing a HELOC or second mortgage, even on a subject-to property, if there's enough equity and the property is titled in your name or trust.

I have so many questions though.1) Can anyone tell me more about series LLC and whether it's necessary to hold each property in a separate LLC2) What are your thoughts on a trust, rather than an LLC - advantages, disadvantages etc?

Sure it gives them control (with the direction of the beneficiary), but is there any disadvantage?

OOS investors have a bulit-in disadvantage compared to local investors.

The old factories are dinosaurs and factory legacy is one of our huge disadvantages compared to China et al.

I can see the advantages of completing your own legal work (familiarity with your business, more attention/time/care, and saving money) but also the disadvantages (spending too much of your time completing legal work, too close/emotionally connected to the business, and not being an expert with residential leases).  

I also offered an FHA grant program (no down payment) to him, but he declined because the rate was about 1% higher and said his dad would help him with the down payment.Moral of the story, be flexible and work with a loan officer that knows all the options and advantages/disadvantages. 

The ADU addition causing the primary unit to be rent controlled (if more than 15 years old) is a disadvantage that is sometimes missed by those adding ADUs. 

In another open forum someone attempted to defend their Facebook platform by stating that it was private and completely secure…Standing in front of 100+ people I said that.. “ I truly believe that you truly believe that”… but you all see the extreme financial disadvantage I hold refusing to use the REIAs communication system.
