If lions only make half kills, they will never have the strength to get a full belly and they will always be hungry.

Originally posted by @Shaun Reilly:However if there aren't obvious assets the hope is that an ambulance chaser looking to try to get a settlement on a frivolous lawsuit isn't going to put much effort into doing this when they don't see the pot of gold.If the primary reason for placing a property in a LLC is simply to reduce liability from ambulance chasers, it would seem to be much simpler to have a nice fat umbrella insurance policy.

I would guess $1.5M in midwest/cheaper markets would do it, double to $3M in moderately expensive markets that appreciate nicely.I had about $2M invested to reach $10k per month net, but I started buying 15 years ago, 90% off-market, belly to belly with sellers that were at least moderately motivated. 

I'm new at this, but this is what I've worked our so fat.

Convinced that nobody can read, I started putting "two animals max" without the weight limit in my ads and now I have renters with a little chihuahua, a dachshund. a small lab mix and a fat housecat.

Marketing is important but real estate isn't marketing, it's not a numbers game like selling cars, you need to know your market, identify the belly of the beast because.....that's right, every deal is unique!  

I've had brand new houses fail for the most inane of reasons. don't argue either, always better to have friends, schedule the reinspection the next day for asap, then be done....be flexible with a security deposit.3. include a microwave, if you weren't already. get one for 40 bones and put it on the counter. slight bump in rent4. you can do better from a title co perspective, just tell them what youre willing to give. every deal they get is one more than they had and costs them little. pigs get fat/ hogs get slaughtered.

While the others ring a bell, I can't recall, it's been awhile since I was reading such materials and taught.I can't help you with True Stories as I never read any, to busy doing my own thing to read about fluff stuff.

If you jump in the second you have just enough for the down payment, you'll risk going belly up at the first bump in the road and you certainly can't count of the refinance until it's said and done. 

You deserve a big fat deal like this.
