What I have seen are a LOT more cash offers, especially in the luxury segment.

It integrates your banking directly with rent collection and expense tracking, which makes reconciling everything incredibly easy.It really simplifies keeping each entity's finances distinct.

is there anything more going on with this company - they never answer their phone..never call back...seems like the best thing they did was write a book about the industry..I like the market segment they are going after but does not seem real if they cant answer a call

Hi @Eva Bici - I think @Lauren Robins made some good points about coverages and how the insurance companies may look at illegal units.However, I would like to emphasize the distinction between non-conforming and illegal units. 

Education is indeed a crucial aspect of real estate investing, and your detailed breakdown of different property classes and neighborhoods is a valuable guide for newcomers.Your emphasis on understanding the local market's dynamics and class distinctions is spot on.

They have a very helpful 30 minute clip segment on youtube (Biggerpockets) that is nice on a drive or in the shower to listen to I have found!

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $350,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand and price and rent increases.

We know that for a very small segment of the population certain asset protection vehicles can and do make sense.   

Keeping them distinct is a strategy for both tax efficiency and asset protection.

While establishing distinct legal entities is a good first step in shielding assets from potential liabilities, this protection can be easily undermined by commingling funds.Commingling creates a significant vulnerability in an asset protection strategy.
