@Ann Bellamy - very good point as well about the different flavors of REIA, I'm sure that's true.

L/C and L/O take on different flavors in different areas of the country.

But I can't stand when you have these gurus that claim they want to help you but instead want you to spend money money money.So I wonder what the next "Flavor Of The Month" will be :roll:

There are a lot of flavors of RE investors.

Or does the teacher really flavor the course and any potential networking benefit, so you should find someone who matches your interests?

If you enjoy Mexican food and are in the area you should check out El Toro, authentic and delicious.  

The stock market has many flavors for you, e.g. growth stocks which are stocks that may rise rapidly but carry a degree of risk; income stocks which are those that throw out dividends and so on.

Thus, if you do this you either hope the bank won't find out, or you don't care because you've got money in the bank with which to cash out the note should the bank call it due.Otherwise, if it is important to you to use LLC, then you must play in the commercial space, where unfortunately ams are shorter, interests are higher, and arm and balloons are the flavor of the day.Which will it be?

So if properties are sub-$200k you might well be able to have 2 VA loans.Otherwise, you refinance either flavor of loan into commercial, which typically requires 20% equity in the property, and then it frees it back up to be used again.

Alex, you'll find there is a different flavor to each different group in MA.
