I'll be flying out later this week to see some properties and to network at a local RE event. 

I want my GPs to buy their mountain home, fleet of luxury vehicles, and fly first class or private, of course!

I then took over the entire marketing and leasing process directly, flying out from NJ to show the units.

You'll need to speak to the building department anyway for permits, so start there with respect to the variance.I'm sorry to say @Jon Pflueger, this is not going to fly.

A lot of Cali folks focus on the Midwest but don't know the states, towns, or cities, and also don't know anyone so they are flying blind there.

Yes, you need to rank #1, but that’s not “lead generation.”It’s like asking, "Is it hard to make an airplane fly?"

I have to fly out Wednesday afternoon, but have some availability in the morning.Thanks for your time.Cheers,Michael

I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.Here is my setupPurchased property under a TrustLLC in FL owns the TrustHolding company LLC in WY owns LLC in FLI purchased the property sub-to, took over the seller's mortgage and I’m working on setting up insurance for the property.I understand I need to keep the seller as additionally insured in my insurance, but the seller no longer has "interest" (ownership) either in the Trust, nor any of the LLCs nor in the Deed nor Settlement Statement.

This is the first time I'm attempting this strategy, so I'm kind of flying blind. 

Since you’re learning on the fly, there are many more unexpected items that you have still yet to encounter.
