It's a great way to talk through your plans and goals for real estate with people that actually understand! 

I talked to him by email once a while, and he is a very down to earth guy, always willing to help and to listen as well, very nice people.      

Then, I would share with them how you manage properties and what your expectations are for them as well as you - essentially explaining how you work with people renting from you.

It is big but I am hearing now people want dishwashers and w/d in units.

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

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.

I'm not looking for partners, but rather people to collaborate with as I'm working to scale my business.  

After punching your rental income from tax returns MOST people more or less break even ion a rental.

I like to hear other people's opinions.

My experience has been that although I outline the requirements for tenancy in my properties, both brokers and PMs still send people who would qualify for most property owners but do not meet my outlined criteria; and then are SHOCKED when I reject them.
