I will be FI as soon as I move back into one of my rentals, but I'm still grinding it out in corporate since I have a high paying job.

@Mark Christopher Javier and to all those who invest in out of state:When owning out of state properties, do you title the rental property in an LLC incorporated in that particular state?

The progression of our recovery (CRE) has obviously made sense - The top 5 to 10 major cities have recovered first with Large Class A+ properties in A+ areas (CBD's) being picked up first.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, you owe it to yourself to make the best use of the tools available to you.In that spirit, I've asked the tech guy who manages my CRM system to investigate how to incorporate this as an automated step in the tenant approval workflow.I'm not sure what he will come up with, but for me, making this easy and consistent for my property managers sure seems like it could be money well spent.

Many of these folks aren't technology savvy, so traditional marketing tactics seem to work in my experience.I've switched my strategy up a bit to incorporate networking events and referral based business from CPAs, attorneys and commercial lenders.But nothing works better than simply picking up the phone and dialing for $$$$$$$$!

Nkrumah:For real estate investing, a property established LLC with the necessary Articles of Incorporation and Operating Agreement offers more tax advantages than a C Corp or an S Corp.

. :)I'd say follow Jerry's advice as well.When Mo. adopted the LLC legislation back when, I filed an LLC within the hour of its passing, had to be the first or at least one of the first filed, the SS didn't have forms and I drafted everything in corporate form.

Building an empire takes time, determination, drive, desire and passion.Don't forget to incorporate your company, never do business as a sole proprietor as you will be 100% liable.

I have had a few opinions on incorporating given to me.

Pretty soon I'm teaming up with a company that will get us great deals to incorporate our wholesaling businesses.
