In this business you either need money or access to it (financing) and often times a combination of both to get deals done.

Helpful to know any combination is accepted practice and is available to me as the owner.As for researching each professional, aside from word of mouth, confirming licenses/insurance, and comparing bids, I feel like the final selection comes down to one's gut feeling during the initial meeting and subsequent interactions.

If it is an outside liability claim (like someone suing you because your son killed someone with your car in a crash), if the LLC is set up in a proper jurisdiction with charging order as sole remedy (or your LLC is owned by a holding LLC in such jurisdiction), then the plaintiff would not be able to reach into the LLC asset.You can combine both by having the property owned by a land trust where the beneficial owner is an LLC.Using asset protection structures can be very efficient in protecting your assets from catastrophic lawsuit by limiting the risk to only part of it.

I'm in a unique situation (like most) and have began seriously considering real estate investing as revenue source for my family.

A big part of this is picking and choosing various unique colors/patterns/textures/and designs from different eras, and blending them together. 

I am looking at a potential sale of unique log home (gorgeous but needs updating -- no problem there). 

This accompanied their monthly lease invoice:Greetings XXXXX Tenant,As we all continue to navigate this unique season, we want to again thank each of you for your dedication to your business, the Stoughton Wellness and Athletic Center and the Stoughton Community.

Will they accept lower if I explain that the ARV and repairs will barely combine to be the purchase price (it does not fit the 70% rule or the 2% rule) 

Are there some unique advantages for people looking to get in on the rei market in Chicago?

Its a unique area with a lot of upside, especially with the Royal Oaks developments all over.
