When this happens the fancy/complicated entity structure is useless protection-wise.Lots of attorneys out there who will sell you a $10k+ entity structure that doesn't mesh with your operations as you scale your portfolio and team.

I’m excited to keep learning, find some local meetups to connect with like-minded investors, and start building a solid team to help me achieve my goals.

Not essential but I've used it for other things and it's really cool when you are building out a new process, design, or work flow with your team as well.  

For example, they lost a fairly major battle when they tried to argue that only licensed professional can manage short term rental properties. 

IMO investing out of state requires a fantastic team before you buy a single piece of real estate. 

Two business days after that I get an email saying they received my info and will pass it along to the "product team" to process the request.Later that day I get another email asking me to verify my identity again. 

@Kenroy BernardTo acquire a multifamily property in Long Island, develop a VA Loan Strategy, obtain pre-qualification from a lender, factor in renovation costs, conduct market research, build a team with experienced agents, network with investors, strengthen your business plan, expand knowledge through tools, and take action by searching for properties, attending open houses, and setting a closing timeframe.

Toughest part will be figuring out what market you want to target, what teams to trust and employ to manage your properties for you as I wouldn't recommend trying to manage the property yourself.

Spray and pray - big budget and good response time, a team set behind the scenes.

My team works with a lot of OOS investors and here is what we have learned over the last decade or so.
