We just set up an LLC at the advice of my accountant so that our profits (and losses) are handled in one place, receive tax benefits, and come tax season, everyone can easily handle their share of income tax based on our (unequal) division of shares in the property (it's not split 3 ways).

Digital is best for the seasoned sponsors.Again, if you were referring to the advertising as I was thinking about, like SEO or running FB ads or that nature (or even social media posting), it's not going to work at that stage.

All seasoned landlords out there,I have a situation with one of my rental properties, and hope you can share your thoughts how to handle it.I have been reading @Brandon Turner's managing rental properties book, and realize that I don't have a "regular property inspection" clause in my lease.  

My wife and I ended up renting an apartment in order to meet funding guidelines as a "seasoned landlord".

Do seasoned flippers ever partner with people like my friend who has no experience?

The plan is to do our own management (one of my mentors is a professional property manager).List Price: $165kAssumed Purchase Price: $150kNeighborhood sale comps: $~240kMaintenance and Cap Ex: 3.5% eachThe idea would be to then season the loan and finance at 80% of market, which based on comps is ~$240k.  

you're only issue is that for titles to 'season' you have to wait 6 months before you can APPLY to cash out refi.  

Also, everyone says it has to season for 12 months before lending on appraised value.

It depends on price point and how fast things are moving in your market...I stage a few items in the kitchen and bath for pictures...and have some chairs and tables I got at the thrift store ..add bright pillows and a few plants and place on the porch or deck ...again for pictures...I don't do the rest of the house ...
