@Marisa R. I like to check in on BP daily. There are always interesting people and topics! I've learned a lot since becoming a BP member.

@Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil  I'm in Florida, there are numerous real estate agents that do not understand investing. Brokerages advise their agents to go after listings, spend $$$ on Zillow/Trulia/Etc. and door knock. I started my own firm because my broker (at the time) discouraged me from dealing with investors because he wanted his close rate higher. He told me that investors are more likely to back out of deals and it would make his firm look bad. So I left and went on my own journey, it is so much more fulfilling.

@Cecile Poyet @JScott has a new book out regarding this topic. Go to the following thread: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/25/topics/660....

Several investors have been discussing the same thing. I believe we will have a downturn, but shouldn't be as bad as 2008  (in my opinion). The book is called:  "Recession Proof Real Estate Investing, How to Survive (and Thrive!) During Any Phase of the Economic Cycle"

@JScott Just bought your book "Recession Proof Real Estate Investing". Looking forward to another great read!

I'm looking for properties in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. Have you looked up a local REIA in your area? You can look them up on Meetup.com or within Bigger Pockets, under 'Network-Events'. That's a great way to meet investors in your area.

@Austin Malone Where are you located?

@Tchaka Owen Thank you, I appreciate the reply.

Hello BP Community,

Has anyone used the services of a professional (company) to act as trustee in their land trusts. If so, which one(s) would you recommend? Also, what personal experiences could you share regarding this topic?

I'm looking for a professional company who will be the trustee in a land trust and/or several land trusts.
