@Robert D.Sounds like you need to speak with a family law attorney about separate versus community property rules, as well as possible creation of a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial type agreement. 

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!

Looking to build strong relationships and share insights on market trends, deal analysis, and renovation strategies.If you’re investing in Memphis or have any tips, I’d love to hear from you!

While you're focusing on building your capital, I recommend to start connecting with other investors in your target areas.

As a general rule, each entity that files a separate tax return (partnership, s-corp, c-corp, etc) will need its own QBO subscription.

Quote from @David Hathaway: Shay Yao, I have found if you can invest within an hour and a half or less away from where you live its much easier to build a super squad of A players that can super scaling a rental portfolio.

Your build backwards approach totally makes sense.

It's not a sound way of doing business, especially if you hire some random VA to call for you in an area they know nothing about.Agents should always be building their sphere and creating warm inbound marketing from social media, events, and meetups instead of doing spray and pray.

I have 3 vacation rentals in Costa Rica and a piece of land where we will be building another one near the beach.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.
