You say your trying to sell properties... What kind of properties? Residential? Commercial?

As being new to the RE world I have read a lot about how LLC'S are very beneficial to RE Investors because it protects the individual from being sued and it protects the Identity of the individual who owns the property, and has many tax benefits. However then I read LLC'S are not needed unless you have a lot of properties such as rental homes or a large commercial property that is worth millions. So I need help understanding this subject. Does someone just starting off who may acquire a rental home or two really need to acquire those properties under a LLC or not?

I appreciate you taking the time to help nudge me in the direction of also reaching out to other members. Any advice on what I should be looking for in members besides ones in my area or members that have upgraded to PRO (Brandon Turner said it shows they are more committed) and I am sure the amount of posts, votes, and awards matter. I am probably missing a bunch of things to look for, If you have time please fill me in.....

Thank you for your time.

@Grant Edwards

That is some of the best advice I have received. It also makes sense. It sounds like I'm creating the opportunity. I will continue to learn and talk to people in my area. I actually did something similar to what you are saying.. I was at Barnes & Noble looking for real estate books and I saw someone looking at the same books as me so I sparked up a conversation and by the time we got done talking he gave me his card and we have been communicating through email and text. He has sent me a lot of great information he actually is the one who told me about this site. Thank You again for responding and using your time to give me some great advice. I will make my potential strong.

@Vernon Emami

Okay then I will have to buy it... Thanks again

@Vernon Emami

Thank you for the great tip about checking local RE meet-ups. I did set up my key words for my area and other things of interest. The Podcasts and Webinars are awesome... I have been looking at Brandons book "Investing in Real Estate with no or low money down" have you read it and if so what did you think about it? Again thank  you for your great tips. If you have any others please let me know.

@Jerry W.

Thank you for helping me to understand how to notify someone. I didn't know that is how it works. Yes I will continue to invest in myself and also help who ever I can along the way because I feel its important to help people (who are truly serious about bettering themselves and there lives) learn real estate because if done right I know it can change a life. Again I appreciate your help and if you have any more insight or knowledge please let me know. 

@JoeyNoel

That is smart advise. I will definitely look for the regulars on here. I hope I do find some locals and yes I will definitely pay. If you think of anything else that will be helpful please let me know. Thank you for your time.

@JerryW.

Thank you Jerry for taking your time to give me good advise. I also believe its important for me to have a good foundation so I can help out in running numbers or whatever they may need. Also by having spent time learning and figuring out some things on my own I show I am serious. Not investing in myself first is like a developer wanting to construction loan to build a hotel when he has not even got the land under contract yet, not really have anything invest just an idea. I don't want to extra weight to the mentor I want the mentor to see me as an asset someone that will take what they say to heart and do my best to implement it. I would especially have no issue with helping to do work on a property that is also a part of learning stages. I will deffinitly check out the learn section and continue to learn. If you have any other advise let me know. Thank you again for your time.

I think you took a good step by reaching out to the BP Community because there is a lot of help on here. I am also very new to Real Estate but the way I KINDA found my niche is by studying some of the ways it can be done like flipping, wholesaling, Buy and Hold areas like that even though I know there is a ton more and each one has a lot more to it then what I can explain but for the sake of getting to the answer that is what I did I read and study about the areas that I was personally able to get involved in. By doing this it helped me to better understand what it would take to start a transaction and what it would take to bring it to completion for lets say a single-family home with the goal in mind of buy and hold. So I suggest keep reaching out and keep study certain areas like flipping, wholesaling thingS like that to find what your comfortable with, also keep watching the podcast check out the blogs on BP do a search for "looking for my niche" in the forums your bound to find what you need on BP.
