One bug report and one request:1) LinkedIn account link feature asks for the full web address, and then puts it in the URL twice, which returns an error.2) Can we add "Asset Management" to the list of Software > Specializations? 

I learned that there are great opportunities to purchase low maintenance, fully remodeled homes in places where there are high quality management teams in place that can produce nearly passive income.

I have 33 rentals producing enough cash flow to support me the rest of my life, but I enjoy my work and continue working.

While I may be new here, I bring with me a diverse background in business ownership, real estate, web development, and paralegal services.

Rental properties have the potential to produce passive income over time with prudent planning and management.Syndications or Partnerships: To pool resources and participate in larger buildings or projects, think about joining real estate syndications or forming partnerships with other investors.

For instance, a property you purchase for 200k should produce 2k a month in revenue.

This is because lenders are primarily concerned with the income-producing potential of the property when determining its value.In regards to your second question, it is possible to buy a property from yourself or transfer ownership between entities.

At some point in the near future I will sell everything (small to medium properties in the $300K - $7M) and do a 1031 exchange (so I don't get slammed with taxes) into a handful of large income producing properties...hire a management company and call it a day.
