There are also horror stories about people loosing their property in Spain. 

Last time I checked only people who have lost a home are those who do not pay.

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

There are plenty of people who want to get into a home.

You can use other people's money if the numbers work.

CIREA is great but we tent to get just as many people and a ton of great energy. rootsrealty.co/events 

I don't see it as an issue but many still do, at least in my small town where the majority of renters are elderly people looking for low maintenance housing options.

Many people utilize LLCs for many different ventures because they do not want to go through the hassle of opening another LLC.

Once you narrow it down, start with small jobs to test their reliability and quality before giving them bigger projects.Building a solid network takes time, but having dependable people on call is a lifesaver for your rentals.

I am seeing more bureaucracy like inspections and fees, which I can understand because some people let their places become true hazards.I do agree what @John Underwood said and would consider lawyering up.
