I usually have very low turnover so I was hoping to organically grow my presence and name brand so that I had more visibility in the marketplace.

Lenders will want to see the filed Articles of Organization, an Operating Agreement that you can get from your attorney or, if you're brave and it's just you on the LLC, some people use Legal Zoom or Law Depot.

So, there is even more risk.The things that you can do, include being properly capitalized, not be greedy, (in whichever way that may be defined in the county you are buying), know solicitation laws, know Dodd-Frank, the Consumer Protection Act, the S.A.F.E.

If so, and you're buying the property using a broker, talk to them about throwing some seller paid closing costs into the offer.

He bought his first couple houses in the first year or two and didn’t buy much for a few years.
