I'd suggest you ask as many questions as you can, there are a ton of people on here who are knowledgeable in many subjects. 

There are pros and cons depending on your goals.Why an LLC Might Be a Good Move• Helps protect your personal assets in case of a lawsuit• Makes it easier to bring in partners in the future• Keeps your real estate finances separate from personal accountsWhy It Might Not Be the Right Move Just Yet• Most traditional lenders will not give a mortgage to an LLC, so you may have to use commercial or DSCR loans, which usually have higher rates• Some people assume an LLC will save them money on taxes, but rental income is still taxed as pass-through income for most investors• There are extra costs like annual filing fees and bookkeepingA lot of new investors get stuck on this decision, but the reality is, you can always start out in your personal name and transfer properties into an LLC later.One more thing I wish someone told me early on is that property management takes more time than you think.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

People are sending me colleague request and there’s not the button to push that used to be there. 

If yes, then the other partners can just do a JV agreement internally which you can record at closing that allows you to still “partner” up on it but allowing the lender to still be protected if anything goes wrong with the deal or people borrowing. 

I recommend people only sell if (a) you can invest the capital in something that performs better, or (b) it aligns with your goals.

REI is for serious people.

Hello good people!

I do not know how they are handling new customers verse the Midland existing customers.Regarding the customer service it seems the people I dealt with are still employed and only my "personal rep" as it were, was promoted and another took her place.

And there are people that do that out there.
