I imagine that when details are not shared, operators may feel it's tedious or unnecessary to share with investors or they're not confident with what is going on?

I don't seem to get the same engagement I used to on FB and IG.

Let's break down the pros and cons of each approach:Forming an LLC in the State Where the Property is Located:Pros:Compliance with Local Laws: Establishing an LLC in the state where the property is situated ensures compliance with local regulations and laws specific to that jurisdiction.Legal Clarity: It provides clear legal jurisdiction and may simplify any legal proceedings related to the property in that state.Perception: Operating with a local LLC may give tenants and local authorities confidence in your commitment to the community.Cons:Additional Costs: Setting up and maintaining an LLC in another state means incurring additional registration fees, taxes, and possibly hiring local legal counsel.Administrative Burden: Managing multiple LLCs across different states adds complexity to your administrative workload, including extra paperwork and compliance requirements.Tax Implications: You may face tax obligations in both the state where the property is located and your home state, potentially leading to double taxation or complexities in tax filings.Managing Through Home State LLC:Pros:Simplified Management: Handling all properties under a single LLC streamlines administrative tasks, reducing paperwork and simplifying tax filings.Cost Savings: Avoiding the need to establish multiple LLCs in different states saves on registration fees, legal expenses, and ongoing maintenance costs.Consistency: Uniformity in management practices and legal structures may contribute to efficiency and ease of operation across your real estate portfolio.Cons:Legal Exposure: Operating out-of-state properties under a home state LLC may expose your personal assets to the laws and liabilities of the other state, potentially diminishing the liability protection the LLC offers.Compliance Challenges: You'll need to ensure your home state LLC meets the legal requirements for conducting business in other states, which could involve additional filings and fees.Perception and Credibility: Some tenants or local stakeholders may prefer dealing with a landlord who has a local presence, which could impact your reputation or relationships in the community.Ultimately, the decision depends on your specific circumstances, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.

I’ll have to check into Xfinity and see if they are also engaged in the “race to the bottom” price war that Cox and AT&T are waging in our area.   

Had I been in your position, I would have conducted thorough online research to identify these comps and assessed their selling prices before engaging with a realtor.In selling your investment property on the MLS, it's important to take an active role in the sales process and not solely rely on the advice of others… If the realtor suggested a significantly lower sale price without providing satisfactory justification or demonstrating a commitment to achieving a fair market value, I would have promptly sought alternative representation.

Real estate investing can feel daunting, but with a solid game plan and a reliable formula, you'll gain confidence.

While it’s possible engaging in one of these programs can shorten the time required to become a “power” agent considerably, it also may be a gigantic waste of money if marketing efforts are engaged without waiting for the all important test results.One popular career tract being offered in collegiate business programs across the world right now is marketing data analytics - analyzing the results of test marketing campaigns and applying/interpreting these results to form an effective and profitable marketing program.The other choice is to engage one of the many companies that will set up a generic real estate agency website for you, with the usual stock photos as well as MLS feed, create a blog and tie it to the new website, and start posting information and answering questions are various social media sites.After getting your feet wet, you can purchase services such as SEO, or a PPC campaign, on a a la charge basis, and track the results using one of many analytical programs available online.

I can confidently say some of them have done their homework, solved their equations,  stress tested their portfolios, and are carrying a reasonable amount of debt given their RE niche.  

I’m confident I’ll prevail without any major added expenses but just a fun way to jump right into real estate 

I look forward to engaging with many of you and contributing to this community.
