@Kevin Kim thank you very much for the recommendation! I really appreciate it and will give her a call. 

Hey Matt, 

Mainly just want to know where to start so that we do things right from the get-go. 

1. Do you recommend that we create a primary LLC for our syndication business in Colorado, Nevada, Delaware, or Wyoming? (Personally, I kind of like that Wyoming is "Switzerland of the Rocky Mountains) but is it smarter to go with Delaware just in case we have an opportunity to receive venture funding?

2. Would you recommend creating the LLC first and open a business bank account for it before spending/startup costs to keep expenses completely separate from the start?

3. At which point should we get a lawyer involved in our partnership agreement? Now? 

Thanks for any advice. 

-Mike

Hello BP community!

I was wondering if there are any CPAs or real estate attorneys in the Denver area that would be able to answer a few basic questions before my business partner and I move forward with our holding LLC and official partnership?

I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations. 

Hey Joel,

Thanks so much for the detailed response. That all makes sense, thank you for explaining this to me. It definitely looks like they're painting a rosy picture, I'll keep looking in this market and others while keeping that in mind. 

Sorry about the repetition in my post, didn't realize I couldn't edit a post on this community. 

Thanks again and good luck hitting your goals this month.

I've been researching multi-family for the past 7-8 months and I'm researching deals on a daily basis. I've found two that I'm interested in and I've done a bit of research and was wondering what my next steps would be. I'd like to take action in 2018 and I'm looking for some guidance. 

The current rents are just about right and slightly below the average. Property crime is below average. The units have been renovated recently with renovations like flooring and appliances. Tenants are also separately metered. As far as vacancy, it's 100% occupied... I know that this can't be quite accurate, but they have a large waiting list and seem to get people in very quickly if a tenant moves on. Also, these are self-managed and I'd need to partner with a property management group. 

New to the forum as well, so please coach me on best practices when sharing financial analyses. Also, I'm very much lacking in my financing knowledge and I don't have much capital myself. I know that this changes everything, but I'm looking for guidance and decided to post for the first time to try and move in the right direction. 

Thank you in advance for any advice or private messages about how I can take action in 2018. Thank you all and I wish you massive success this year. 

-Mike
