I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.

If so, would you be willing to share the terms and how it worked out for all parties involved? 

I also think the real estate community is rather small, so will be a situation where knowing the right people will make all the difference.

I'm really excited to be part of this group and learn from all of you.My mentor always said If you want to fly, hang out with eagles, not turkeys.I'm here to learn, network, and start building my own investment portfolio.

It would be good if traveling with pets required number and type but that is just nice to have. 

(Roth's being an exception.)CPA Tom Wheelwright has a chapter on this in his book Tax Free Wealth and agrees with what I just noted. 

Grateful to be able to join this group to learn and gain knowledge from different people.

Just change your settings and discounts to attract MTR or LTR crowds,  personally, I would be careful Of furnished finders.

Also, would it be a good idea to make an LLC since we will be partners?

I'm going to be looking into whether or not I got this signed by my tenant.If you can, please share updates as they happen!
