@Ryan ReddyDo it yourself and when you get more flips under your belt then get a GC.

Should I start an LLC before buying my first property or get a few properties under my belt and convert them over to an LLC?

I've been mentored in the P&C realm since then and recently added Medicare to my tool belt.

I have a couple properties under my belt but they are rentals in TN.

I'm in the buckle of the bible belt, World HQ for the Assemblies of God and 6 bible colleges in the area, so take that into consideration

That being said, it depends on where you're at in your journey, if you're just getting started it might be better to spend this money on marketing and get a few deals under your belt before spending any money on training. 

Everyone fights for limited help.Commercial retail in some cold belt states where you have OVERSUPPLY and most tenants leaving and not expanding more spots then those towns can be doing bad.

He lets you take the course with a business partner so you can split the cost with someone. its overall a new tool to add to your tool belt as any kind of investor - cuz its an exit strategy that can be brought up at any deal.

Though once you have enough properties under your belt, you can typically absorb / fill vacancies quickly and they are less of an issue.  

And, it's always nice to have a few rental properties under you belt as well!
