Suddenly I had enough money to pay my bills, with a cushion to spare, and—at the urging of my sister, who had been interested in real estate for a while—I came up with the audacious plan to buy my condo from my dad.I had been a homemaker for many years before becoming a professional author, and had relied on my husband to take care of all financial aspects of our marriage.

I have a tri-plex rehab project I need to get done but I am having a heck of a time finding a professional, reliable contractor.

Looking for a tax professional that can help with sound advice and annual tax preparation as we grow our rental property portfolio. 

I got a professional quote for smoke repair and it was 4 times as much as I am requesting.

I am currently enrolled in a class in college called professional development and we have to interview 5 people in the industry we choose, and do a write up on each.

My wife and I are both  medical professionals  and we make a decent income but we would really like  to get into real estate investing within the next couple years,  primarily  buy and hold multi family properties. 

As you add more and bigger properties, you'll at some point likely transition to professional management, which will add more risk. 

Part of me thinks I may be better off passing this job off to a professional.

If you own a house near college you will feel stuck there or you will become a long distance landlord when you are a busy college student.Also once you finish college you may end up living in a completely different part of the country for graduate school, your first professional job, or some other adventure.

Especially on your first house.If you're buying commercial assets and/or seeking commercial financing (which is a higher risk, higher cost PITA), then do the LLC.Verify with legal/tax professionals of course @Kevin Dureiko
