You already have a lot of "equity" exposure to real estate with your current investment portfolio.

With an LLC, your exposure is only the personal assets you've put into the entity rather than all of your personal assets.  

Tom, they exited the over $300K submarket here in DFW last year because that market has been in a shift, and they must not want the exposure. 

So it sounds like with land, development costs the 1,800,000 would be close to what you could build something brand new for.So then the question to ask is there other locations that are better where you could build new for cheaper and have better exposure for your business?

Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he or she considers his or her own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.

Going FSBO already limits your exposure and if you really want to "incentivize" buyers agents, offer 3% with an additional increase if they bring a buyer that closes by X.Your biggest incentive is proper pricing!

I would make a professional advertisement with my logo, phone number, website address etc.That is a good amount of exposure for $400 dollars but the place mat are not focused at all.  

You are not limiting your exposure by managing a holding company that owns your LLC while you operate the LLC.

Since that first exposure, I have been reading up on everything I could find and plan to keep learning everything I can leading up to my first investment.

Also, a lot of those decisions will depend on your tax exposure and the state your property is in (and where you live).
