I'll try to get in touch with everyone individually (though I'm not used to how the forums work yet).I'm also not sure how to make the at replies work, so that's a bit of a bummer.Anyway, as for location I'm in Kumamoto and investing mostly locally.

@Mario MoralesI think this is a common question and the value that an agent will bring will vary by individual needs.

Do they suggest how to enter the transaction accurately or enter an adjusting Journal Entry.

As an individual investor it’s nearly impossible to wear all three hats and execute efficiently and effectively, especially on a large scale.

Quote from @John Friendas: Hey,My investing partner and I have reached an agreement where he would have the debt under his name and apply for it individually, and I would do the majority of the management (he is out of state and my income is half his).

Hey @Augusta Owens Bigger Pockets has been so valuable to me in my own journey, so you are in the right place.Ive been hosting an investor meetup the past 3 years and it's been a great place to collaborate with the like minded individuals and collaborate. 15-25 people show up each month and range from new investors to people,e who have been investing for decades.would love to connect and get you some more information! 

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

I am here to learn more about my own personal investments as well as seeking out learning opportunities from like-minded individuals.

I would echo this, it is a great REIA and the best place to find local, like-minded individuals and resources. 

RUBS are illegal and individual meters is not feasible at this time.
