How are we organizing this?

@Carl Randal Some investors in Texas (and I realize you're not in Texas) will "close" at a notary but typically do so only in very unique (urgent) circumstances.

develop your own unique to what you're good at and what you like to do...and stay away from people like him, unless your wallet's too full of cash

Each will be unique.

But I would definitely talk to your cpa because everybody's setup is different and there may be something unique in each situation that allows you to do something different to maximize your profits and limit your tax liability.

Your plans might change down e road if you decide to scale.For my particular situation,  I don't payoff extra debt unless it is hard money or a unique circumstance.

Read this for information purposes only, since (like all court cases) your actions are unique to you and the results of this case may not apply to you ;)Not legal advice.

I was speaking with them about the rental guarantee and it is by a third party insurance company which I found unique but interesting being that I would be an absentee investor sounds like a good marketing tool for the investor that is just getting into turnkey. 

I own a property management company in Memphis and we are successful through communicating to our tenants and investors, addressing maintenance issues immediately, treating our tenants with respect (tenants may be rude to us, but that does not give us the right to be rude back), providing excellent customer service, hiring good people and paying them well so that I can retain quality talent, creating a positive work place where people want to come to work, having great marketing, adapting to the market changes, organized well and keeping investor cost low through managing our vendors closely and leveraging the amount of business we give them into significant discounts off retail.The only investors that I know that ended up in bankruptcy court were the $0 down investors who did not know what they were doing and figured real estate was buy a house, rent it out and cash the checks.  

Can someone give me advice on becoming more focused and organized?
