It is not a glamorous lifestyle but it is an honest one that definitely has rewards.

I have had to email/phone/leave voicemails repeatedly to get traction on deals that i have been interested in.There have been numerous occasions when even a courtesy response was not provided to let me know that another member was already working on a house or the house was already under contract(and no, the Quest tool still indicated that the house was available for members).It seems like the organization does not feel the need to send even a courtesy response if a property is no longer available for LS members .

We would like to leverage somewhat though to allow more purchasing opportunities while prices and lending rates are low.Can anyone chime in on the risk vs reward of using the residential loan but transferring the property into an LLC?

I chalked it up to risk/reward of taking over property from an absentee previous owner.
