I currently use Wells Fargo and it’s a pain in the butt to keep going there in person and setting up a security deposit account.

Personally I am thinking 1c.

Better to spend $60-80k for a conversion than over 120k.  

I would be very interested in the person’s contact information that does Pad split in this geographical area. :)

NOTE: an aggressive attorney can still track you down.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you legally separate them from your personal assets.

Track everything, including conversations with sellers and buyers, in your CRM and on Excel.

I think they meet in person, but not sure it may be on zoom - they are not members of MAREI, so I don't have all the info - they do post their meeting on Meetup.And there are a lot of virtual meetings, plus MAREI events on our calendar. 

My wife and I plan to purchase a few properties ourselves, but with the lead generation strategies I’ll be implementing, I expect to come across more deals than we can personally handle.That’s where you come in!

Just keep in mind that there are further steps you'll want to keep to minimize the possibility that your entity is ignored for this kind of personal liability (say, if you were the person who didn't properly clear snow, or if your finances and the LLC's are comingled).And I agree with @Chris Seveney, insurance may provide adequate protection based on what's available to you.

I spent about a year there and I had an overall good experience.Most KW offices hold weekly in-person training hosted by various experienced professionals.
