You may want to give them a per meal per diem or split the difference or what you feel you can live with. 

I have spoken to a couple property managers so far, but really need to talk to a few more to feel confident in my choice.

Just trying to get started and feel, with the tools available, I may have found a good deal in my area.  

The pension amount at age 39 is not enough for me to feel comfortable, so my long-term plans are to start a small business and invest in real estate to position myself where I don't even need my pension, and it's just a bonus.

I’m getting ready to leave at the end of the month and my mail forwarding service gets a letter from the town which I have a feeling is important so I overnight ship it to myself.

Evening all, Hope this post finds you well, feels like we have been running in circles for the last few months with no clear path in site.

Understanding and educating yourself on the advantage of different forms of financing is an excellent way to get started and feel more comfortable about the process.

Now i feel like i should create an LLC just incase for protection.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by knowledgeable brokers, agents and hard money lenders but feel I need a solid plan in place before I attempt to tap the resources around me. 

However, if you live in the half that is rented, make sure you are paying market rent and have a lease drawn up to avoid family problems (eg your siblings feeling like they bought a home, so you could have your own place).
