I'm looking to network with someone who lives in the state of New Mexico that has completed similar, if not identical transactions.I am willing to include a partner that is willing to help me complete this transaction.SarehYegh(at)Gmail(dot)com

We have an identical situation in North Dakota right now and I am also having trouble valuing SFRs and town homes.

In my other research I turned up a complaint on this web site stating that the same company, but different name, was operating an identity theft scheme.I did not attempt to contact this person."

And, if you're looking at a FL LLC your information is always available to the public anyway without a bit of machination so it's going to be difficult to shelter your identity that way anyway.  

But, I found certain parts of every city has reasonable taxes & prices that will fit your investor identity & type.  

Besides the non-disclosure provisions for those trying to protect their identity, any other reason you would suggest Nevada for LLCs?

It'll be 2009 all over again, and unless you want to see your hard earned cash evaporate or give your real-estate back to the banks, diversification is your best option.Oil & gas and real-estate are considered identical in the eyes of the IRS.

The other one I bought in 1978 for $35,000 and the $500,000 sale is identical to mine.

If you have 2 identical homes, one renting for $500 and the other $1000, replacing the roof is going to cost the same it won't be cheaper for the lower rent home.If the buy, live in, fix-up, then rent out works for you and you are comfortable with that strategy why not stick with it.
