The lead guy, Ronan McMahon, presents some compelling deals.

I am happy to direct you to the reputable companies.

Currently I am looking into finding my first property so if you have any leads feel free to give me a shout.

Hi Jagger-Great question.I am a fellow Michigander from Ann Arbor.Nothing against Maine but the Midwest has seen some of the strongest rent growth in the country.When I consult with my clients, if they don't have the budget for a market like Ann Arbor, I direct them to Lansing, MI.The cashflow is strong, the economy is stable, it is the State capital so there is always economic development creating new jobs, the price point is relatively affordable because the cost of living is lower there, and appreciation is predictably linear.I also advise investors to buy duplexes and up so you always have a rent check coming in most of the time if you have a vacancy.

This would create something that you already are familiar with, which then would lead you to be able to get into real estate as an investment vehicle.

Current Situation:One house owned by self: 600,000 (has small mortgage)House owned by LLC: 350,000 (does not have mortgage)New purchase made by self using 1031 exchange from LLC: 600,000 (mortgage around 300K)

Let's start there and perhaps I can guide you in the right direction. 

Any advice or leads appreciated. 

Therein lies question #1:   What is the best approach to self-listing as the landlord?
