They are spread over 50 miles that's why I thought of putting a vehicle in LLC.

I agree with Arman: look for "steady demand drivers like universities, hospitals, or outdoor attractions."

Don’t use this form for personal-use property such as the vehicle you use for transportation.

Regardless there are many more tax benefits other than depreciation - mortgage interest, repair costs, mileage for your vehicle, home office deduction (and thus percentage of utilities/internet etc), home office products, materials for repairs, property management costs, property taxes etc.

On the conservative side you could add vehicle or personal property storage for the tenants, on the high side, for third parties.

I have no knowledge of the principal or his investment vehicles.  

Wanting your first property to be something you’d live in isn’t wrong - it actually helps you make better decisions - but it can also cloud judgment if it becomes the main driver instead of cash flow and ROI.

Since you mentioned out-of-state, I’d definitely suggest checking out Columbus, Ohio—it’s one of the few markets where you can still find affordable homes in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule, cash flow from day one, and have massive growth drivers like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, Microsoft, and LG moving in or expanding here.

So I’m lacking the confidence to actually “pulling the trigger” and I feel like I still have my drivers learners permit and still need someone experienced in the passenger seat while I drive.

I just recently finished a renovation on my townhouse. it is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom, has a carport for 2 vehicles.
