Mass fees are $530 per year and I am just a Newbie, every dollar counts.

So, lets say we go to the courthouse, acquire a list of prospects, and send a mass direct mail campaign. 

Both units are occupied and we live out of town so it's a double wham...is it appropriate to as your tenants to do a mass showing on one day?

I have been doing a lot of reading, researching, and watching webinars.  Some people say you can't find deals on MLS, some say you can.  I am sure that the best way to find a deal is by networking and finding someone ...

You really dont want to try and compete with the big hitters here in LA who are pushing out marketing in the MASS.

This is critical mass. 

I’m in the Springfield, Mass area. 

I'm not an attorney but my understanding is yes, you can definitely do that, and I believe things like that happen every day.While I can see some possibilities for why someone would want to set things up that way, I do have the instinctual thought that it might be over complicating things.Technically the second LLC is another layer of asset protection, and maybe you have a very specific entity structure setup for taxes which would make it beneficial to do it that way (an LLC inside an LLC), but it's worth asking the question of whether these is much difference, or much more protection, than just having you (presumably a Mass. resident) be the member of the RI partnership LLC straight-out rather than having your MA LLC be the member.Also, depending on what else you have going on in your MA LLC it may be a disadvantage to have it be a member of the RI LLC from an asset protection perspective - if someone were to be able to pierce the veil of the RI LLC then everything in your MA LLC would be at risk.If you do go with the MA LLC as a member of the RI LLC, when you go to sell the property you'll have non-resident withholding - but you'd have that if you personally were the member of the RI LLC as well.You'll also need to be careful how you sign anything relating to the RI LLC - you'd have to be careful not to sign as member of the RI LLC but as member of your MA LLC, member of the RI LLC.

@Michael ZackAre they familiar with the real estate laws in Mass?

I am comfortable in the towns/cities that I am researching in Mass, I just wonder if I can do similarly well in Florida, Colorado, Texas, but with half the cost!?
