Same goes for number of LLCs and what to fund them with, since bear in mind that CA tends to be more cumbersome and expensive to have LLCs than other states.California is generally more cumbersome than other states when it comes to taxes and filings.

But keep in mind, the top of their list is going to be people that they’ve worked with in the past and probably closed deals with.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

The "Deals" are off-market, the ones you yourself find, dig up, CREATE. 

Keep in mind, you should have already had a conversation with the hard money Lender to know their terms and process, and be ready to perform. 

I would love to partner up to see how things work and get some real on hands experience with someone who knows a few ins and outs.

I'm very interested in learning from experienced investors and connecting with other like-minded individuals.I'll definitely consider attending your meetup on the first Saturday of next month.

But I'll mind my own business now. 

As for vehicle vs RE, I agree this was a vehicle but the peace of mind was unrelated. 

Hello BP community,It's nice to see so many discussions from like minded people!
