I am creating an llc with a couple friends as we go into this new endeavor.

Taking the time to create a baseline business plan forces you to think through the "why," "how," and "what" of your real estate endeavors.

A lawsuit on public record against them could put some serious harm in their future endeavors especially if they have a track record of bad deals.Note: I am not commenting on the experience of either party noted above and responding in a fashion that this information could be used for fill in the blank company.

Ask yourself how much work you want to do (real estate is not a passive income endeavor) and how does it or does not fit into your life right now.

thanks for the prompt reply & wish you the best in your future investing endeavors. 

Best of luck with your current endeavors Jackson, I've messaged you to connect as well! 

Wishing you all the best in your real estate investing endeavors! 

I deleted it, and restarted it twice feeling ashamed that I had failed in my endeavors. 

If you’re serious about this endeavor put your current home on Zillow to rent with an occupancy in 90 days before you sign a PA for the next house.There are other lending products that are not as strict but the terms are different.

It will have ups and downs, you will make mistakes, but I have found real estate investing to be a rewarding endeavor.
