.• I am a Realtor in Las Vegas and my practice is almost exclusively remote investors and most of my clients use either LLCs or LLCs in combination with what is called a Nevada Asset Protection Trust to protect their assets. 

@Les Jean-Pierre you can combine multiple accounts into one self directed IRA or Solo 401k.Almost anyone can set up a self directed IRA, while Solo 401k will not work for everyone.

This, combined with classic books like "Landlording on Autopilot" by Mike Butler were helpful to me. 

The function with the right flooring can still be a mudroom entry to the laundry area, just leave a sufficient traffic path.

If you are using a mailing software program it should have a method to mark "flag" certain records and a "find duplicate records" function.

We use combination of cash and hard money lender for our projects.

The total loan amount for the combined properties is only 36k.

The KEY to any partnership is finding people you enjoy being around and whose combinations of personality and skillsets allow you BOTH to achieve more than you either could ALONE!

@Don Konipol   From what I have experienced personally its a combination..

Many people will try and fail, but the ones that learn the correct ways to analyze properties, screen tenants, hire PM's and turn REI into a functioning business model will benefit from significant financial gains.When people says its bad to invest in rentals/flips and the like they are often regurgitating poor information they received from someone else.
