I've only had one listing transaction from my BP leads.Most are complete noobs or have limited REI experience with a rental or two.

I have been reading books and listening to podcasts for almost a year now and I know I need to take action. 

The @Dave Meyer book Start with Strategy will also be a good resource.

They are the best thing to add to your own personal knowledge, books, and podcasts out there.

Now, if you've already set up LLCs per property, then yes, have at least 1 checking account per LLC.For people who own their properties personally, keep personal accounts that are exclusive to RE activities so all of that activity stays separate from other personal transactions.

All real estate transactions in SC must be conducted by real estate attorneys.

You would need to tap into what the market may draw because not all markets could support this type of guest avatar.You may be able to get just enough bookings to at least cover your monthly expenses by leaning into your listing and how you market the property.

If they want referral, I can give some names, but they can take a look at themselves too.So in reality, buyer agent is doing like transaction coordinator only.

This would be a prohibited transaction since you're a disqualified party and anything you already own (your LLCs) is part of that. 

Then the gentleman from Citizens  I was talking to mentioned  they charged the loan off their books.
