The Idea is to create a new real estate asset class - the Room Condo. 

Even if these relationships don't go anywhere, you'll get a lot from just having a couple of calls.Next I would try to find some local investment groups/communities and try to chat with as many investors as you can to get an idea how other's started out in your market.

We are interested in using the equity for a real estate investment, and are looking for ideas, suggestions, or investors in similar situations.

Also, good idea not to put it out there on the internet that you have that kind of equity, that will just attract more scammers!  

Question 2: Is it a good idea to put every piece of property into a separate LLC entity (1 for 1) or is it okay to put a few properties into the same LLC?

We still have no idea.

Quote from @Sakib Khan: Hey everyone,I’ve been toying with the idea of jumping into the world of rental property investing, and I thought this would be the perfect place to ask for advice.

My agent was a very nice older lady, but no idea about investing, it all worked out and once the first rent checks started coming in started gaining some confidence.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat or bounce ideas around.

What ideas do you have around retention?
