I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Looking to make connections with property owners in NY and Philly for meet ups as well!

A well-structured deal could allow you to get in with little to no money down while leveraging your construction knowledge to drive profits.Regarding financing strategies, the sky is the limit if you’re willing to be creative.

I'm seeking a well-maintained property that would be suitable for a first-time investor - turnkey, cash flow is a must.I'm open to single family, multi-family, student housing, and more. 

Many of them become entitled and create problems, particularly for amateur landlords that don't know how to manage well. 

I had access to a legal and compliance team to assist in doing such, as well as my background in contract law.

Reducing risk requires at least some time spent in research and involvement in a deal.There are many other things you learn along the way as well. 

Hey welcome I am new as well based out of Austin Texas

While you should always consult a CPA and/or attorney for their professional advice, here's my 3 cents (I'm sure others will chime in as well):1) Having an LLC may make it "easier" to track but it's not needed in this situation as you can run this through your personal return just as well.

Sure it does. but depending on who the celebrity is/was.....That's why so many little hotels, boarding houses, vacation rentals, etc..... feature this in their advertising.And in some cases, you will not get more money, but you will get more guests.A little while ago, I went to Tombstone AZ and stayed in 'The first boarding house in Tombstone'....really cool place but kinda small and, well....old feeling.
