I want to remain local in NJ or at most drive down 1hr to PA (self-manage or, last resort, hire a PM)However, I must also consider maintaining reserves, a safety net for my primary home, and an emergency fund.It's just hard for a new investor now :(

Im not sure if I will hire them to establish the LLCs or do it my self, if I hire them or another company will be to establish one in KS and one in MO, then technically "copy and paste" the forms to establish the other LLCs.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

I feel pretty free to tell someone when I think RE is not the greatest investment. 

DM if you want me send you pics of your properties I know how that feels .  

Quote from @Shaun Ortiz: One thing that keeps coming up is how some investors start with BRRRR but eventually shift to other asset classes—self-storage, mobile home parks, even commercial spaces.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

I have several opportunities to snag up a self storage complex and a 18 unit apartment complex on creative financing .
