Started a reading journey in November of 23 that changed my trajectory.

It's great to hear about you starting your real estate journey.

I started by placing my 1st rental property into an LLC (for this example, *JOHN SMITH PROPERTY INVESTMENT, LLC*).

I used money from my business savings earmarked for starting a group home for my mentally ill nephew, who has been struggling since his mother's passing.

Talking with an agent in a different state the other day and they started talking about this or that issue, that I never really heard about. 

Have you already started working with lenders to figure out which loan product might be best and what price point that might put you at based on that?
