Also discussing my goals with people who aren't like minded. I allowed a family member talk me out of a good deal.

My biggest rookie mistakes have been using the first realtor to contact me through realtor.com instead of utilizing BP to find an investor friendly realtor. And using a home inspector I found through google instead of finding a verified one from the American association of home inspectors. Those mistakes alone have cost me thousands.

At what point do you put your home in an LLC?

I found a multifamily and put an offer on it. I want to put it in an LLC but my realtor says that I cant until after closing, He said because the LLC isn't formed yet. So I would have had to form an LLC on a property prior to placing my offer. Is this true? It doesn't sound right to me.

@Aaron K.

Thank you so much!! It doesn't have a selected flood map boundary. That was a really bad hurricane. I lived in the area for 20 years and never experienced a flood, but the house I lived in even flooded🥺
