We are a boutique firm in Chattanooga and every agent in our firm is personally involved in either real estate development, owns investment properties or flips homes. 

I'm based out of Raleigh and personally own rental properties in Fayetteville, Benson and Clayton and could offer some friendly advice and help out with your journey. 

We’re an MHC syndicator based in San Diego with a 15-year track record of strong performance.

I'm a positive person like most of you probably are, and trusting, and the the way Peter Harris has his program set up to "sell you" is a thing of the past and something I would call predatory.

Or can you still run everything through your personal return (just want to make sure that I can deduct things such as HOA fees which I can do if it is a rental).2) If I do decide to run everything thru my personal tax return (save on LLC fees), should I at the least set up a separate bank account to track costs separately?

Quote from @Jeffrey Duck: I see no reason to pay an attorney for this, but it's your dime.The current lease was between you and Person B.

I had another person speak highly of New Western.

.👀 Risk ManagementBoth investments require risk management:Stocks: Company performance, market conditions, economic factorsReal estate: Property maintenance, tenant quality, local market changesBut guess what?

Asking your agent (or other on-the-ground person) to look at the property and take pictures in your place? 

Definitely looking into meetings and going to meet them in person.
