Big trees are icing on the cake and often times can be higher cost (trimming a big tree can cost you $1 - 3k a shot).There are lots of non-desirable neighborhoods with mature trees where most folks are economically desperate. 

Well you also chose well.. you chose markets that appreciated  instead of markets were appreciation is the icing on the cake.. if you had those same issues in non appreciating markets it would be a totally different story.PS I just bought a lot on America st. in charleston  do you still have that house there..

But actually creating the LLC is a piece of cake in most states.

I won't deny that I'm privileged, but it hasn't exactly been a cake walk.I don't mean to offend.

@Bryon Fugitt - I'm sure there's a way to help you get your cake and eat it too. 

Most of them lost a lot of money and got out of real estate investing entirely.If you have good net cash flow and/or a paid off property, it's easier to sleep at night.And if the property appreciates, that's the icing on the cake.

Appreciation may or may not happen over the long term, but that is just icing on the cake. 

Any appreciation above the typical San Diego appreciation would be icing on the cake. 

So my question is: Could anything change with the mortgage if the LLC is under new ownership (other than a bank potentially calling the loan due which is typically in any 30 year fixed) Then the icing on the cake: Obviously I'm attempting to pull this off right now lol.

In Dekalb they consistently have free lunch (12 noon) at Cakes and Ale on the Decatur square.This is also why everyone needs to be in a local REIA.
