Karen, I won't be attending but I can recommend a tip that could save you thousands of dollars: Leave your credit cards at home.Most of the free / low cost seminars give you a few crumbs of information but are mainly sales presentations designed to "upsell" you on more expensive "boot camps" and/or "mentoring programs".They all follow the same classic sales formula, they'll tell you that it normally costs $X (you can even go on their website and see that price) but "today only" or "only for the first N people to sign up" they're putting on a special deal.They'll do the whole "this is how much it would cost individually but here's an incredible package deal" etc.

The main idea behind this was that as a small llc with a single member there would be a good chance that a judge could likely pierce the corporate veil negating the any protection the llc provided.His argument seemed reasonable enough, so I'm wondering what everyone's take is on this?

Hello,I'm looking for a savvy real estate investment accountant in Florida, mainly the Miami Dade/Broward area.

New or old electrical main box and does it meet current code. 

If you were to divide your real estate investment (mainly focused on buy and hold properties) company into 5 business areas, what would they be?

Austin is expensive compared to other cities but the main reason is its potential growth.

It looks like the main benefit of leverage comes from the extra cash made upon appreciation after a sale .

The tax value is 92k with an arv of around 115k since the next building is the exact duplex renting for 596 each side.Also, the dining room could potentialy be made into a bedroom by adding a wall thus making it 2br and 1 bath per unit.The "minumim" repairs to be able to get one unit rented at 375 or 400 again will be around 5k after the purchase of the property to replace windows/repaint and some maintenance.If I bought this unit for 40k and 5k to repair 1 unit the numbers are not great but the potential for this property is incredible.I live 50 minutes away and can do most of the repairs minus the roof and windows but am stretched thin. 

We converted a two car garage into a nice unpermitted apartment under the main 3 bedroom condo.
