Can you articulate the risks you believe you will  protect against and more importantly how this Wyoming LLC will aid in your objective?  

Most importantly you seem to have an understanding that education is the foundation to build your investments on, and that will keep you from chasing shiny objects. 

I would keep the carpet neutral but something easily washable cleanable.As others have said, I'd add other decorative objects like artwork.

I would approach this question with a few things in mind, such as what are your investing objectives and how much time do you want to dedicate to this. 

The objective is to keep as much of your operating capital intact as possible.The goal is to buy, fix, finance, and avoid leaving cash in the deal, so you always have liquidity for future projects.

You can surely hire a PM for one property, as long as you feel like the costs associated with it align with your bottom line, and cash flow objectives. 

Therefore, I have been trying to study up on techniques used to make good offers and over come objections. 

If it’s a structured settlement and you aren’t getting a lump lum, you could contribute some of that to a Roth or Traditional IRA each year, or if you are self employed even more to a SEP IRA.Also what’s your short term, mid term and long term objectives?

Some of their objectives include bundling them together and selling them to funds that invest in such assets.

I think for me what helped was going into the conversation with a mapped out 10 year plan and showing her how the objectives and end goals align with hers and our family's.
