Shelf LLCs are pre-established entities like you mentioned in your post.However, if you prefer to avoid setting up shelf LLCs, using land trusts can be a simple and effective alternative.

We work with Enterprise Bank and Trust.

The more deals you’re part of, the more you learn about:✅ Structuring deals✅ Managing risk✅ Negotiating with partners✅ Handling financingTaking part of a good deal helps you build real-world experience that will pay off big in the future when you do bigger and better deals.3.

We plan to build a cabin or cabins for our family use and an STR.

I would more trust a mentor who was part-time, spending maybe 10% of their time mentoring and the other 90% doing deals.

I like to think, if you trust their record or numbers - good luck to you.

Here in the USA you have to be licensed to build a structure that will house someone else.

Opportunity to build a quality portfolio exists at any time and in all kinds of markets. 

We built that on land we already had and used cash to build ourselves. 

I'd also like to try to purchase with a land trust or my LLC.
