Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets but I don't think that's necessary.

I was advised today by a retired real estate professional, who is licensed, that if you offer an application to someone for a loan, you must be licenesed by the DRE.

I have spoken with so many people who say, "I have my LLC, I'm ready to begin" and I know they could've easily begun their RE investing journey without it.Curious to hear your thoughts.

In neighborhood it is very important to present your self to the home owner next to you, this helps a lot to prevent misunderstandings. also this shows your professionalism.

Wishing you all the best as you take this journey.

Plus, professional management companies often have tools and strategies to maximize occupancy and revenue, which can offset their fees.

That said, I do this with a a few investors on rentals since I'm a Realtor and Property Manager where I am boots on the ground for purchase, rehab and lease-up, however we had a strong professional experience/life together before partnering.Lending will also be a consideration as most lenders are hesitant to lend to non-citizens given the foreclosure challenges it can pose.

I do a meetup in Mesa on Saturday morning's which is a good place to come meet even more RE professionals and investors.You have the experience so now you just need the right strategy to grow the portfolio.

Build connections with local professionals, talk to them in person, and value there time over yours.
