IDK about MA, but creating an LLC here in CO takes about 5 minutes and costs $50 on the Secretary of State's web site. 

I am a property manager in Barre, Vermont and we are currently using a web based property management program.

I have been researching this on the web tonight and find many negatives and few positives.

I've found some links here and there on the web, but looking for some feedback from the PROs!

I found some free analysis software on the web - search around, but you want to calculate your purchase costs, rehab costs, holding costs and selling costs if you are flipping. 

I don't know those guys (I stay away from gurus) but my money is betting they will tell you stuff that will get you in trouble, betting 2 to 1.

In other words, spend a few days on this site reading all you can and I'd bet along with buying J's Book you'll learn a lot more about RE investing than you can learn from any guru, whether they want $1,200 or $25K!

I'll bet good money that there are more than a few similar listings on the MLS where financing would be more welcome, and there may also be seller financing opportunities that make good sense that are less risky than financing auctions.

Although they might sue you for it first and considering the ridiculous inventory they now have of 1300+ homes, mostly ones that aren't worth touching, even for $1 due to heavy damage and being in areas where the max possible value wouldn't cover the repairs needed, I bet they'll be doing more lawsuits and less foreclosure soon, who knows.

My wife is getting frustrated and wants to immediately go to bandit signs, yellow letters (list source), web site formation, company name, LLC formation etc.
