They invite professionals - officials (attorney general), to speak on topics relevant to the business.There are seasoned, experienced landlords that gladly give free advice and pointers.They have full time lobbyists to fight against the pervasive ‘tenants rights’ groups we continually have to battle.I attribute much of my success as a landlord to my involvement with a great association.

BUTI’ve officially been a ‘landlord’ for about 18 months now and let me tell you, I was not(still really not) totally prepared.

@Andre I.I don’t know what practice test you are using, but in my case, while generally similar, I had some questions that I never seen before during the official test.As a whole I believed that the test was easy, but also I was scoring much higher during the practice ones.When you reviewed your practice tests can you identify an area where you are weak and need some more learning or are you randomly missing some questions that you were passing before?

I got to jump in an help manage the flip to earn some potential profit and we're looking forward to our next deal with an official JV structure. 

I trust them but still wouldn't want to take full responsibility for the mortgage without any legal protection.Our lawyer suggested that we talk to lenders (in progress) and get under contract before officially forming the partnership LLC.

I invested in a development project a few months ago that is expected to start paying quarterly returns in Q3 of 2020 so I guess you I could consider that my 1st deal but I am looking more towards a flip or BRRR opportunity as an official 1st.

So check with the building dept or code official to see if that would be required. 

We actually just had an un-official BP meetup tonight here in Shreveport/Bossier.

Check with local zoning officials first.

My particular method unfortunately is grab a chair, photo copy everything, and spend a lot of time trying to decipher exactly what the "official" stats on a building are.Anyone have a time saving idea for going about this?
