Experts in the field actually don't recommend removing that.

In the videos it said to use the business service he promotes: Prime corporate services, so I called them and they recommended that I set up two LLC’s one in Wyoming for anonymity and the other one in the state I reside in: Pennsylvania, so that’s what I did.

Leverage tends to adds risk, I always recommend having the worst case backed up by, long term job prospects, other liquid assets to cover losses, an/or the ability to take measured risk more than once to even out uncertainty.The richest individuals use leverage to their advantage all the time, but it should be used with care.Zach

I would appreciate any recommendations on desirable/up and coming locations and ones that best be avoided.

From your Dashboard (https://www.biggerpockets.com/dashboard), we have some recommended next steps! 

I recommend going to the university and walking around.

I'll definitely start keeping up with the magazines that you recommended - that seems like a good place to start!

And within these areas, what property types would you recommend diving into for a solid investment?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'm looking for recommendations for a PM for a SFR in New Bern, NC, please!
