@Taylor Chiu  I currently work in the healthcare field and did home health for a while and saw patients in numerous ALF's in SFR here in california. 

Up to this point we've not only purchased many cash flowing properties in numerous markets, but we've also been very creative to expand our portfolio beyond what we would have likely done on our own. 

Hi everybody,I know the topic is trite and got innumerable discussions over time, but I still find little to address this specific scenario.I am about to rent out a house for the first time, 4 separate single rooms, 4 separate tenants unrelated to each other.I can totally see the convenience of letting (say) a family take over all the bills for the property, but how could that work with 4 separate tenants?

We are invested in numerous multi-member LLCs owning commercial properties. 

This is essentially giving you some of the cash from your improvement (presuming they are significant) , as well as a steady stream of income into the future - which helps you long term in numerous ways.  

However, as I delved deeper, exploring and engaging in numerous insightful conversations, I uncovered the realm of real estate investing.For me, the most precious commodity in life is TIME.

I guess my greatest beef with most gurus (not all, some are actually honest and straightforward, and even offer marginally beneficial advice) is the following1- they’re dishonest in numerous ways2- completing their training in no way qualifies the student to earn money or even perform competently in real property field3- the techniques they teach are often harmful to the people their students deal with4- they unleash a horde of unprepared, unqualified, unknowledgeable, misguided and unaware newbies on an unsuspecting pool of desperate homeowners5- they sell the song that all formal education is a waste of time and money6- they never provide any audited proof that they have been successful in real estate investing7- they encourage people to pay for a mentorship plan they can’t afford by increasing the limit on their credit cards8- they create falsified accounts to post how great their program is9- their programs are packaged by professional seminar companies out of Provo, Utah or Las Vegas, Nevada10- they disparage people who have spent years accumulating the knowledge, experience and capital necessary to be successful in real estate11- SOME gurus teach techniques which are unethical, immoral and even illegal. 

I plan to add value in numerous ways.

And it’s been down less than a year and already coming apart in numerous places. 

I've been involved in numerous buy/sell transactions in the past, but recently I've encountered a different kind of proposal.A few recent inquiries have come my way asking about my interest in trading some of my vacant land for "like-kind" vacant land in a different location.
