Hotels charge $250 for a single room.  

I tend to lean toward setting up LLCs for rental properties, especially when you’re trying to separate liability between your rentals and your personal assets.

I even had one client that would create separate LLCs for each Fix/Flip property (called single asset LLCs), but that might be a little overkill for you.

Rarely are there claims worth pursuing personal assets.

They can only claim the §121 exclusion if the property is titled in their personal names or a disregarded single-member LLC, not an S-Corp or multi-member LLC.

What loans/programs to look at (this is key for single moms + first-time buyers)Because you’ll live in one unit, you have access to the best financing available:• FHA loan (3.5% down)Allows you to buy up to a 4-unit property and skip the self-sufficiency test if you buy a duplex or single-family.

What metrics do you personally prioritize (e.g., cash-on-cash, DSCR, cap rate)?

I always like to meet people in person but the majority of investors that work with me rarely meet me for years.

The property is a single family home, large lot, south facing, in a good school district, Centennial, Co. 

Focus on becoming that person!
