If you want to tie all those different entities together I would suggest a different strategy that allows them all to complement each other for effectively.

and to understand how they fit together in your toolbox, as none will give you everything (e.g, insurance is required and it will cover you for many situations, but not always; asset protection (LLC) is litigation insurance and complements regular insurance, by minimizing the target and making it unappealing).

For me, it is just an occasional deal to complement other business, nothing that can be counted on as a revenue stream of its own.  

You'll learn a ton and really start creating passive income streams to complement any active income things you like to do. 

It is always nice to be complemented by neighbors when they start to see the beautification of your building and the improvement of the community. 

But thanks for the complement.

Tenants notice it without us saying and we always get complements as it does get hot in Atlanta market where we have properties.

If you want to partner, treat it like a limited time partnership and have the terms of the seperation already in the partnership agreement.IME partnerships make sense when they complement each other - two partners with very different talents.

A nice fat $5m home in Mission Hills I'm happy to say. 2) I'm not 30 but aww sucks that was a nice complement. 

Get your degree in something that will complement your REI goals, with high income potential to support those goals, and to fall back on if REI becomes less attractive in the future (doubtful).
