HelloIn the early 90's I had been working in construction and it had been drilled into me that real estate was the best way to financial freedom. 

No Assets.

My priorities are finding a company with a strong track record in:-Tenant screening and placement-Rent collection and financial reporting-Maintenance coordination and responsiveness-Competitive management feesAny insights or recommendations from experienced Lafayette investors would be greatly appreciated!

@Angela Costa you should research working with a financial advisor as @Jeff Nash is stating no one on the forum can provide comprehensive planning and personalized advice you need to work with a real financial professional.  

I paid cash for the asset but still got title insurance on it.

If your LLC is sued, those stocks are an asset that can be taken!

The first is the opportunity to acquire high-quality assets that are marked down over 20% compared to peak pricing in the first quarter of 2022.

@Michael Smythe   I believe Michael posts a really good explanation on asset class's and what you can expect. so between him and Engelo you should be able to navigate this safely .  

.🏠 I got interested in real estate investing after listening to financial independence podcasts a few years ago.
