It sounds like your current "strategy" is to react when bad things happen. 

Jerry Norton is a predator scam artist every body dont buy his garbage.LOLThis guru debate will go on and on.An investment of time/money/effort is required in real estate investingIts the "success tax" or the "10000 hour rule" at play, we all have to PAY on the way to success  

If it's a layered LLC, most lenders will need to trace a warm body on the operating agreement which will involve a bit more paperwork trail.

Income Statement shows a company's income and expenditures over a period of time.Balance Sheet is like the Head/Brain of the company and Income Statement is like the Body. 

If you are just a warm body with 80k and no applicable skillset, I wouldn't bother.

Real estate is VERY slow to react and will take a minimum of a year before we see how the Presidents economic policies affect us.

What I've heard through them is as follows: The student body has changed drastically over the last 10-15 years.

Let's not just complain but REACT !!

But end of the day you simply have to make a choice and hopefully do the best you can choosing wisely what works for your personal situation and personality.The Norada thread was a perfect example of investors all over the map on how they react when a note payment is missed ..

I think there's a good chance that we will see little movement from the FED to see how the economy reacts to their last cuts and to see how the incumbent president's policies impact the country.
