For those that have yet to do this, it takes less than 10 minutes if you are a single member llc - just make sure to have a copy of some sort of identification. we did all of ours .. and our attorney contacted us as well and let us know to get them done or he would do them for us. 

I’ve been interested in real estate for years and have invested as an LP in several projects, ranging from residential single-family homes to NNN properties and flipping.While I haven’t owned any property yet, I’m hoping to take that step in the near future.

I have been investing since 2008 and have purchased everything from single families and duplexes, to 250+ unit multifamily, to assisted living, to shopping centers, to industrial and more.

Consider house hacking when rates and prices are a little more balanced with reality.I would prefer a duplex/triplex but I know getting into a single family home and renting out the rooms is more accessible .

You may only have one single STR in SF.

I currently live in San Diego, Ca. but have been looking in the midwest, mainly Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, for properties.Hey Janet, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

For single family residential I think it is a red flag, usually price if they are sitting.

We never sold a single property. 

Instead of making a single 15K payment at the end of each year, you would be further ahead to make an additional payment of $1250 each month.
