I have been listening to podcasts and reading various posts and wanted to start engaging in this online community.  

Hey everybody, I signed up for bigger pockets a few months back but haven’t begun to post or engage until now.

I think we would be interested and willing to have someone we paid a nominal fee each year just to be able to answer a call or a couple of emails.Maybe do an initial consultation and/ or an annual checkup and onboarding to get us set up properly in terms of entities etc. ie does it make sense to create an llc.maybe have an packet available to answer basic questions like dos and donts of fair housing, evictions, Collections, recent law changes,the setup and use of an llc, trusts, wills etcThat way we are initially doing things properly and have built a relationship before we have larger engagements or are paying thousands due to initial poor planning.

@Lumi Ispas, Thank you for your sharing your experiences and taking the time to respond in such a thorough and engaging manner. 

If a 1031 is planned, you must engage a 3rd party 1031 intermediary (like @Dave Foster) ASAP, and absolutely before you sell the duplex.7.

I’m not affiliated with the Real Estate Guys organization, I just enjoy their events and I have benefited tremendously from the education and network.1.Engage with people emotionally to get them to open up intellectuallyA potential investor might tell you “I’m looking for at least 10% cash on cash return and 18% IRR.”

Ask your agent if they will submit your offer and represent you well OR do you need to engage another agent.  

Do you bill the client (me), or do you allow for rollover if you continue to be engaged for the service until consummation?

High school seniors have their picture taken in front of the church and sometimes couples have their engagement picture taken sitting on the steps of the church or standing at the church doors etc. 

Social media product rules and engagement can change frequently leaving you at the mercy of the tech.
