Hey @Aaron Price, I think the best way you can get started in real estate is to reach out to local investor-friendly agents in your market.

Then you own the LLC and can transfer the property into it.If you transfer the property into that LLC the way it is then technically you just gave your friend ownership of the house proportional to his ownership of the LLC.I'm not an attorney, so take that with a grain of salt.

We are pet friendly and have some zeroscape backyards and have wording like "We are pet friendly with a fee, but please note although backyard is fenced there is no grass and certain areas contain crushed shell which could hurt your pets feet". 

I take my dog to see his friends at the dog park every morning and usually take an hour or two nap in the afternoon most days.

I am looking to partner with a close friend of mine (we've worked together many times before with both of us in various roles) to primarily do rehabs for LTR and/or resale.

The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tools are especially helpful for tracking property performance.One downside is that it can be a bit pricey for smaller portfolios, but the features have been worth it for me.

You should look for an "investor-friendly" PM company that knows how it is just dipping your toe into the water of buying a home/condo/townhome.. 

Here is what we have found and I will probably catch some heat for some of the things I have to say, because it does not sound "investor-friendly".

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you . 

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.
