I have had 3 people email me this weekend who are over leveraged and also cash strapped in that they have repairs of $5k or more, o cash to repair and without repairing cannot release unit.

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

Our countertop people are there looking for their payment. 

Most people are not rich there, look at the cars. 

This is a real estate group so I’d assume a lot of people own a lot of real estate.

Social media is a good place to meet people, but do you really understand what they do?

Last time I checked only people who have lost a home are those who do not pay.

First month free only attracts people who move every 12 months.

People like to use HELOCS especially now, if they have a very low interest rate first position mortgage, in order to tap into that equity without losing the low interest.

There isn't really a lot of people looking to rent a 3500sqft house and that may translate in longer vacancies.
