I hope to continue to network and make new friends in the real estate community.

Then came Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.

The LLC is a partnership between myself and another friend who's also an investor.

We've had tenants complain once or twice that something is not done fast enough but if it's not an urgent need, we just tell them to wait (Ex - an outlet not working). 

@Greg ReeseMost small investors will benefit by having the LLC created in the state where the property is located at.Creating an LLC in a state like Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming may be better for the big players if items such as charging orders, business friendly case law, anonymity are important to you.However, be mindful that setting up LLC's in those states will add to your costs as you may have increased annual fees for annual LLC fees + registered agent fees.

Citrus Heights, my friend.

"Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most".

By the time you factor in insurance and any cap ex....it's already a loser...even if you aren't carrying a mortgage.  

Very nice to meet you, my friend!

@Paige Corsello...You could call your bank contacts and find out if they are broker friendly.
