@Mike Vann it covers the basics, but his next book "The advanced guide to real estate" goes even deeper and is probably what you'll want to get next. 

The Ultimate Beginner's Guide would be a good book to start here.

She's quick, extremely organized and detail oriented.All that lead up to say, is there a market for a part time 1099 assistant for independent real estate investors?

I also plan on creating a short sale companion guide for the average home owners as well, along with a video guide.  

Keeping mind we are often dealing with 10's of thousands or 100's of thousand dollar of transaction value, lawsuits can get expensive very quickly. 

To them that simply means an easy victory over the entity and a quick goldmine in fines and penalties.

My job is extremely secure, so this risk is minimal for me.I will say that my views are based on using that money for a flip or a BRRR method, where the loan is short-term and paid back quickly.

Hi AndrewThat's a tough one because tax rates seem to vary from state to state.I'll give you a quick example: Salt Lake City, Utah $300,000 home with an annual tax amount of $2,500.Detroit, Michigan $35,000 home with a $2,500 annual tax rate.Pontiac, Michigan ( different county that Detroit but only 20 miles north of it) $35,000 home with a tax rate of $700 annually.In the midwest and west I see an NOI of under 6%, in C grade neighborhoods.Select areas on the east coast and surrounding region I see NOI's of 9% to 15% in C grade neighborhoods.Property Taxes are the same whether the home is held personally or in an llc.I hope this helps, please feel free to send me any Specific questions and I'd be glad to answer them.Good Luck.
