Blame TV.

If you are just starting out, first stop is to buy the book on Real Estate Loop Holes as part of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series.

---->Cell1 - a protected series of TexasSeriesLLC that holds title to a property1, single member (me), member-managed, has its own EIN and bank account.

I told him I wanted a series llc and he said it wasnt legal in ohio yet but was in the works. 

TV commercials are expensive.  

My house is a reno for me, and I have run into a couple issues that put the brakes on things while I figured out a path forward (mastic covering 90% of the floors for example) anyway, its a fun way to make money but it is NOT as easy as tv shows show or gurus say.....  

My local attorney who has done most of my closings said its either one or the other in regards to trusts and LLC's, I like the series LLC option but don't feel we are organized enough for that model

It’s the Real Estate Asset Protection Series.

The solution is to find a different area (market) to invest in.Second, what you are describing as a plan, is not a plan...that's a series of events. 

The market is hot, there's a billion flipping shows on TV, there's a ton of podcasts, and it draws a lot of people to the industry.
