It is imperative that the agent have experience in flips and rental properties of his/her own and be able to hopefully establish a long term relationship in purchasing multiple properties in that area.

All depends on how hot the property is and if they have multiple offers for it.  

All the tenants have been in them for multiple years.

I cannot see any value in having multiple LLcs own part of a property. 

Meaning you took action and bought properties, as opposed to those who just give opinion without skin in the game. 

I buy multiple sizes and cut to length to fit if necessary.

They already offer a "bid room" discount for orders over $1,500 but if you get enough quantity from multiple projects you can begin asking for discounts under $1500 purchases.

I'm open to any guidance.I have no idea to secure funds if I have to put some skin in the deal, hopefully, since its, some kind of grant it won't require any money down.

My name is Cosette (I use my middle name) and I currently live in Mesa, AZI have been thinking about getting into REI for a while and could always see myself owning a multiple family rental, but I never really thought it would be something I would do until "later".

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.
