Banana (another fruit served a computer company well)) would be better than using Real Estate, Properties, or other names that quickly identify that you are investing in real estate.If you wish a cuter name for your business cards, etc., you can always file a DBA (doing business as) and revert back to the LLC name for official business.

I split my time between Tucson and Arizona, but invest primarily in Seattle Washington.I wish all a fruitful investing adventure!

More work involved... more issues to resolve... interesting situations to navigate.Sounds like you found title companies that prefer the low hanging fruit.

On the other hand what would happen if the county cracked down on truck parking, to me it seems like you may have all your eggs in a single basket of questionable legality. 

We are reaping the fruits of our labor and enjoy helping others do the same.

So, having that first lesson learned, I could put it into practice years later, and avoid yet another big loss if I had put all of my eggs in that "flip" basket.

In the price range I look at (less than 60k), anything that can't pull at least 1% after rehab is either a total basket case or in a very bad area.

I would propose there are a few factors when considering this decision:1) Most RE agent licensing will only scratch the surface of RE law, so the education you do get during your studies may not prove fruitful in acquiring or investing in RE 2) You have to compare the costs of the license and to maintain it every year to what you would actually save or make in commissions3) Make sure the broker you plan to work with is friendly to investors, they have a vested interest in their agents to get listings and do traditional deals, I know a few agents who don't quite fit in at their offices, I've heard Keller Williams in general is the most investor friendly. 

I would buy multiple properties as to not put all my eggs in one basket.

If you work at a decent sized office that is probably the lowest hanging fruit.
