You could form an LLC and have the operating agreement that allows your boss to require you to purchase his membership interest (or allow you to purchase his) in a given time frame.

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks Jay, I will probably bounce back into the government (DOD) with my Special Operations network.   

Some have pointed out the fallacy that to be licensed in some way is different upon the operation. 

One of the most important steps you can take as either a startup landlord or seasoned one is to use a platform specific to property management as it will elevate your operation and save you tons of time.The good news is that nearly every software designed for landlords includes these features.

I know we generally talk about redlining in terms of access to mortgages and other financial instruments, but doesn't NAR have some policies around it too and how real estate agents operate around the topic?

Your LLC needs more than 4 pages operating agreement.They are recommended by many but not with me.

In my opinion, even if you partner with a local PM company or turnkey operator your returns will drop significantly.

We operate in the DFW, San Antonio, and Houston markets, helping investors grow their portfolios with turnkey LTR properties.

Transparency and professionalism are core to how we operate, and we ensure all properties have clear, insurable titles before closing.

No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.
