You want an LLC for ease of administration, trusts are kind of annoying as they can act as their own taxable vehicles as opposed to single-member or pass-through entities that an LLC can provide.

It sounds like the appeal here isn't the deal but the ease/comfort of finding/making the deal.

Conversely, some nurses might want to "get away" from where they're working and drive up to 30 minutes away in order to enjoy a more rural, quieter rental.Safety, furnished, and ease of getting to/from work, closeness of restaurants, and "not like a hotel" types of properties are what I would look for in a rental.Would love to hear more about your real estate journey as it progresses!

I always gave in for ease and the fact I had a physical number, but when you looking at the cost per fax it is exorbitant.Today I received an email that stated my service cost was rising to $160 and they billed me on the same day.... umm no!

@Nicholas Pisano real estate investing is a long-term game, not overnight.Have seen many newbies jump in a buy several properties, then when things don't go according to their unrealistic plans, freak out and sell at a loss.A past client is doing that right now - they bought 5 properties from a high-pressure agent, hired us, micro-managed us to try to meet their unrealistic expectations, terminated us and hire another PMC to "save" their portfolio and went that didn't work out, are now selling 3 at a loss.

Now, I want to pay it forward by creating a step-by-step real estate investing course specifically for high-earning professionals who might be feeling the same pressures I once did.I know how tough it can be to juggle a demanding career and personal life while trying to invest wisely.

It's also an old city with some geographic constraints to new development...if you're close to public transit in a good location, there's always going to be upward pressure on price (and rents) and limited supply. 

My question is will those home builders put pressure on that gas station owner to improve their business appease wise?
