Placing properties in an LLC is pretty much an acceptable business practice in RE, for the liability protection you need to pay attention to how you run the business.

I wouldn't do one of these that's not for a specific property, but if you have a property and have an agent (which I think you do in this case), then this agency agreement just protects the agent from you going around them.

This may help you look at a property and potentially submit an offer before anyone else (general public) will see it. ( i purchased my last property 2 weeks ago in this manner).never hesitate to let anyone know you buy properties (Friends, co-workers etc.)...you just never know if a friend of a friend of a friend needs out of their situation.Try driving (Time consuming) around in the neighborhoods you might be interested in.

We have a couple of consultants here, both consult the public and sort of a glorified real estate broker, but they also charge hourly fees in certain matters.

Obviously, I want the best tax advantages possible and best asset protection.

If you do find some you want to use, protect yourself by having an attorney look them over.6.

Saying it MAY be illegal, but thats only if you don't have a good contract to protect you right?

And, they are usually not aware of such short contract periods either.These contracts or concept to market a residence is very simple, that has alot to do with the popularity, the public understands, for the most part that you can rent to buy or do a lease option.

It's public information.

I would avoid Craig's List as well.Place an economical ad in the local Thrifty Nickel or other free weekly publication.
