@Brandon Hicks That sounds very close to what our business model has been but with a slight twist to it.

I had been procrastinating the unloading of that property for a long time, but with my mentors gentle nudging and help I finally sold the house.

Gentle Rain from Behr is a great option.

Jeff, it was a twist in my response because my keyword is also Bay Area.

(yet another twist)...So, the lower the monthly payment the seller will accept, the better for my profit margin.

I need someone to (gently) pop my bubble here.

All strategies or methods used in RE have been around for hundreds and some thousands of years, yet the guru tells you it's new, the big secret, how to or they add some twist to an old idea, smoke and mirrors.

These strategies all involve their own unique twists.

May just be me, and fact I am in #1 lawsuite state, but for me when it comes to the LLC vs Corp. questions and twists, I always look #1 at liability, and then at taxation savings.I had a large company, organized as a c-corp, and yes it was a hassle, and yes taxes where hell on the surface, although i hired a good CPA who I could barely understand his strategies, I just followed them and saved.

I am just getting started, so please be gentle.
