It is crazy that some random person can hold you hostage to providing your information.  

I'd hold on to your home as a rental and pull a HELOC before you move out.

During the years I was holding to the properties, I do have tenants (some are long term).

I'm a buy and hold investor with a conundrum. 

Holding out for a strong or higher rent during this time can cost you money.

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues. 

We actually started when we bought a property to buy and hold but it ended up not being a good fit for our portfolio so we sold it.

So I started with cooperative assignments, which enabled me to raise much needed cash and then branch into other strategies, buy and hold, fix and flip. 

Guess I will hold off sleeping till I make it Thanks for helping me see my downfall.

I've been in real estate for 4 years now and have done land flipping, wholesaling, buy and holds but am now just focused on lending.
