There are ways to transfer property after, but you'll have to consult with a specialist like @Scott Smith.Here are some graphical representations to help you in these decisons/discussions:Asset Protection Onion DiagramAsset Protection Decision Diagram - to help assess the need for asset protection, and what to implement

Graphic Designer but am strongly considering getting a job that is more related to real estate, as my long-term goal is real estate investing and I see Graphic Design much more as a hobby. 

As I approach being ready to rent this cute cottage, I've asked some locals about the best way to advertise my rental.

General advice for a newbie - don't get cute and go slow.

Hey @Daniel Boone, cute setup!

I think we were lucky with this property buying the worst house in a great neighborhood and remodeling very cost effectively, plus the market was good.Granted, if we had an earthquake tomorrow we'd be in deep doo doo but I think if you buy a cute cosmetic fixer you can afford on a 15-yr loan, work on the house yourself, live in it about 5 years until things turn around and turn it into a rental, and keep doing that a few times until you retire, you would do better than mutural funds.I am sure there are better strategies than mine but we have been able to grow a little nest egg because of real estate not because of mutual funds.

The wealth of information in here is incredible and can't wait to start learning and building relationships within the community.I am a graphic designer from the advertising world and I am also a certified sports nutritionist who is looking to add REI to my area of expertise to provide a better future for my family.I am excited to be a part of the community and look forward to meeting some great people with like minded interests and learn from some great investors.

You could also print them.If you want pro looking print flyers, vistaprint dot com offers some nice layouts for those without the graphic arts gifts.

It's warfare and your cute little enemies take no mercy!
