Trust your gutI have has great success with posting on Craigslist multiple times a day and Apartments.com, but not sure how your market responds on those sites. 

@Esther Thomas, Very thoughtful questions well addressed as always by @Clayton Mobley. 

Even without an address, agents name, owner name or anything else.

I personally believe the Series LLC coupled with trust funds can provide a great level of anonymity and asset protection. 

Since it's summer all the contractors I've gotten recommendations for won't accept any more projects so I'm kind of at a loss, and missed out on a deal on a trust sale property because I couldn't even get a contractor to walk through with me!  

What's the address?

I’m not sure if I should use my normal contract, then have him and her quit claim the property to a trust or if he would only quick claim his portion of the deed.

Think of a land trust as the moat around the castle.

There are too many good opportunities out there to consider buying negative cashflow.Unless you have some people you really trust on the ground, I wouldn't attempt a rehab from out of state.

Okay, here we go: 1) No, you don't need an S Corp, LLC, Trust, or anything like that to get started.
