I hope to establish new relationships for mentorship, partnerships and of course further my education in real estate.

I am also trying to establish my team, I have a good realtor who is sending me properties, I was connected to a lender but I am open to suggestions/ recommendations for lenders, property managers, project manager (is this common?)  

Make sure to establish a team before getting started though - I would love to chat! 

However, the s-corp (or LLC I suppose)  has things available to them that can be established like defined benefit retirement plans or SEP IRAs.  

Unless someone is well established in their business, I would start small until you've got the money and assets to digest those kinds of fees. 

Establish the notice time that will apply to you and the renter in the event that either decides to terminate the agreement.Remember to consult with local authorities or seek legal advice if you have specific questions about regulations in your area.

@Michael Nelson I've seen lenders willing to let you borrow 100% once a relationship is established.

Unfortunately there are some established agents who think they’re doing right by their clients by filtering out buyers they’re not familiar with.

You should verify whether you can establish this type of LLC in Texas.
