I got my RE license in Louisiana to make it easier to find investment properties. 

Hey BPthis guys posts are all over the placeone post stated his client had the money from inheritance, not him.he is looking for RE agents,  loan agents,   partners, etc.when I see starting topics like his,  smells like dead fish to me,   I run away from his deals.proceed with caution with this new BP member.go get a team or mentor to help you local where you live,   you throw out bait,  I smelled it,   look like court house drama to me.    

I’m fairly new to RE, but it makes more sense to me that you’d keep using cash flow to pay the mortgage and start banking as much free cash as you can so that when the market cycles down, you can buy more properties :) if you are so inclined.

Welcome, I'm also new to RE investing and am focusing in Desoto County, MS right next door to you. 

I know I need to re-read some of the books, etc. but advice will be greatly appreciated! 

One idea may be to flip one to generate cash and then re-invest your cash into a rental property.

If you re-post in a different forum, you may have better luck!

Spend a few hundred bucks, and sit down with a local RE attorney. 

In my case, I want to keep properties in different parts of the country and have a good property management company to take care each of them (so less headache and more time to focus on increasing your RE Assets).

not been missing something, it does make me wonder if there simply is no better overall approach than holding RE assets in my name to get better lending terms, and loading up on umbrella insurance.The prospect of getting loan terms that don’t come close to what I can get as an individual in exchange for getting to own through an LLC just doesn’t seem to be worth it.
