Communication and mutual understanding will keep great tenants in your properties.

Just me but I would look at a different viewpoint.How have you been communicating with her?

This is just too big for most people doing single flips but it's also an opportunity that rarely comes along.

we are in a similar situation right now, getting ready to invest in hopefully single or multi family homes and also have many questions regarding setting up LLCs for asset protection and are at the point where we also want to meet with an attorney....what did you end up doing if you dont mind sharing?

We've just started to put our business plan together and are interested in renting single and multifamily properties around the greater Portland Metro Area. 

Say an investor owns 10 properties in a single LLC and those properties' equity represents most of the investor's net worth.

If they stumble then they are their friend....You don't forget those kind of details unless you are incompetent....I've done this with tenants that came from a single family home as opposed to a verifiable apartment complex for the last 3 years.

Buy lists of owners of properties of the type you might be looking for - multi-family 2 to 4 units, or who would be motivated single family owners:  send direct mail - lots of it.I do a lot of #1 and #3. . . if you have a brand new marketing machine, you need to spend more money on #2, if your machine is 15 years old like mine and your website already ranks, and you want to target your leads to specific properties and areas rather than a blanket ad across the metro, then I spend more money on direct mail and retargeting. 

My current position haunts me EVERY SINGLE DAY and I want higher ground.
