I have found a profitable niche between 8-50 units where larger investors do not focus and there is great upside that is addressable with the property management business capabilities.

Putting a property into an LLC before placing it in a trust is generally recommended because an LLC provides a stronger layer of asset protection against creditors and lawsuits compared to a trust alone, effectively isolating the property from personal liabilities while still allowing for estate planning benefits through the trust structure; essentially, the LLC acts as a shield to protect the asset within the trust from external claims.Consider getting professional advice on how to structure your assets to shield and protect the asset(s).

Main questions should ask about the seller's:- Reasons/Motivations for wanting to sell- Desired timeline to close- Plan's after selling (relocation, reinvesting proceeds, 1031 exchange, etc)- Back-up plan in case they are unable to sell within the desired timeline- Reasons for not already selling to/with a investor or RealtorAdditional questions will depend on the type of seller lead i.e. pre-foreclosure, probate, fsbo, absentee owner, etc.Here is an example of a youtube search you can use to begin finding call recordings.There are 1,000s and you'll find that the best/most effective ones don't even sound like sales calls.

@Viji Venkatachalam what's the address of your home?

I don't need a complete virtual assistant, just a street address and box.

The course heavily relies on cold calling and emailing, which hasn't been effective for me as a novice.I'm considering a different approach, such as arbitrage, as it seems more accessible for a beginner.

If it will be owner-occupied, there are a number of compliance issues to ensure you address (Dodd-Frank, etc). 

There are several options for skip tracing to find phone numbers and email addresses.

Adjacent to this bustling hub, affordable residential lots have remained available, particularly after decades of urban renewal and the city's efforts to address blight.
