However, trying to research and retain all the information I’m finding here, is a bit like trying to drink water from a fire house. 

I drink water as soon as I wake up, read a bit and go on a run.

I am drinking the juice at this point, and plan on making this my method of investing. 

I'll take you up on that drink. 

If you don't drink alcohol, try to make a friend on BP or meetups through email which is easier for some introverts (I've had friends that were very shy in person but text people like mad). 

Bills are all in the LLC's name... etc,etc...LLC's require a lot more work than the vast, vast majority of individual investors realize, just to confer a protection that a good lawyer will likely be able pierce.Get proper insurance, be attentive to your properties maintenance, don't drink and drive or do drugs and screen mercilessly.

I might be available this weekend if you want to meet for a drink.

I can only lead to where the water is located and can't make'm drink.

Go out to lunch, grab a drink with people who you may not usually do that with.

3) What happens if one of you drinks & drives, killing someone and getting sued by the victim's family?
