I've done dozens of deals myself over the past 10+ years and every one of them I've had to put in a combination of my money, blood, sweat, and tears.

If i was in California probably have to donate a lot of blood.  

Use a "Series LLC" where different properties and partners can operate in a "cell" as a separate entity but everything is consolidated under one LLC. 

Stop by and get everyone's contact info, e-mail, phone, cell phone etc. 

I have been a Florida boy for most of my life and have sand and oranges in my blood to prove it.

If that works for you, please reply to this email to confirm and I will add you to my showing appointment book.Also, as a means of courtesy to both our busy schedules, please confirm via text or phone call at least 2 hours prior on the day of the showing to my cell phone (area code and number).I’ve also attached our rental application.

On my cell.

The burning desire for real estate may just quite be in my blood OR it could be me witnessing the perks of collecting rent for a living - traveling for months at time and playing poker.

Honestly they have been super helpful, my electrician has cell numbers for the inspectors and the supervisor to discuss options as we need to address them.

I read this post, shook my head after rolling my eyes and wondered how come I've never up with the brilliant idea of getting real estate investment advice from my doctor while he taking my blood to check my cholesterol level.
