But I am curious of the legality of this process, how can the investor (the land owner) promote and advertise a home which he has not paid for.

This is in part due to a promotion I was given when I rented it 3 years ago not being renewed.

Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down - @Brandon TurnerThe reason why I love this book is because it opens doors for investors by giving way to invest with other people's money and promotes creative thinking in Real Estate!

While LLCs are often promoted as bullet proof asset protection devices, I don’t quite feel they are quite as good as advertised.

Thankfully, had to relocate for a promotion and sold the condo. 

Leonard  While I'm a business broker, let me start by saying that I would not represent your business, as I work only in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, so this isn't self-promotion - but I'll give you an idea of how we value a business that we're representing for sale.A business is valued based on the total cash flow to the owner from all sources. 

Do you own the properties you sell or are you a promoter simply taking a fee from Turnkey companies to market their companies?

As part of its price stability mandate, the Fed considers 2% to be healthy, though it is committed to letting the level average higher than usual in the interest of promoting full employment.

I'm not factoring in appreciation, equity, or 1031 exchanging into better properties, rent raises, or promotions at work, so it can go more quickly than that, especially if I can figure out ways to use OPM so I can scale more quickly.But, similarly, appreciation would mean that acquiring such houses would take longer, and that's assuming I can find properties that actually cashflow $300 after everything, including capital expenditures, repairs, etc.

Hey Ryan,I need to tell you that even right now you can have cashflowing and high upside deals in an emerging market... it requires serious market research and networking, many trips to the market, establishing local connections as an outsider to build your management team and get the first look at deals, finding the right people to build your property management company and represent and promote your brand, establishing relationships with banks and identifying the best financing options and applicable grants, and designing/building the value adds that raise rents and property value.
