After all, Im gonna be putting all my eggs in this basket.

@Will Barnard  Does anyone have Will's cell phone?  

Thus he finds himself in a bad loan, with houses nobody really wants, and a loan that no other bank would want to touch.The only nest-egg my dad has from all this is about $50,000 in equity from all properties combined.

I prescribe to not putting all of my eggs in one basket.

Start by putting thinks like your cell phone bill in the LLC name.  

Also I'm trying to learn about other land assets like cell phone towers and billboards for cash flow.I've been joining local meet ups and classes, I am definitely still in the research stage.

I've always recommended to my clients not to put all their eggs in one basket, although, personally, I would put a bulk into the real estate basket.

Finally, depending on your return strategy and risk spread, different markets is something you may want to consider, for example you may want to spread your eggs beyond your immediate territory to enhance your buyers market experience, I know I may open up a bag of worms with my next statement, but consider turnkey operators in different market to help enhance your buyers market experience.

What is your current market, friends, family, people already on your cell phone contacts?
