In Feb of this year, we purchased a ST vacation rental condo on the beach in FL.We currently have a $1MM umbrella policy and started a relationship with an asset preservation attorney because we are going to start looking for another long term rental in the north metro atlanta area to try the BRRRR method.He is suggesting we change our JT Rev Tst to two indv Irrev tsts (with us as the beneficiaries) -> the trusts will be the owners of a holding company, multi member LLC. 

Building relationships by meeting in person is always stronger in my opinion.

@Paul HenningI see two sides to this.First, you have a prior relationship with your current Realtor, and pricing seems to be your primary concern, so why not discuss pricing with them?  

They'll be able to actually drive out and see properties themselves and have likely already developed long term relationships from living there for a number of years.

I am a true believer in power of building relationships.

Especially being that the owner is willing to pay a stranger $100 an hour with forming any type of relationship.

If you don't make relationships as a wholesaler, you have nothing and no one will trust a random property from a new person.

I have this piece of paper signed and I have the money to close, I have not created a network, title company relationship or anything yet.

I gradually built trusted relationships with contractors.
