Maryland also requires a physical address (no po box), how can I avoid having to using my personal addressMy thought is to set two LLCs owned by a single trust or another LLC in a separate state as the owner of the MD LLCs.

I know this because I spent the night in a few of their houses.

Some time spent searching through posts or using the search function could bring up plenty of them.For contracts in CA, I suggest you simply get a PSA (purchase and sales agreement) from any agent.

I suspect you know where this is going....Luke is refinancing, he thinks his home is worth $1.2m because he spent $250k on the swimming pool, deck, and accompanying landscaping.

I spent a few years playing hockey near there.

You may be able to use a PO box for privacy, and that's what most individuals would do. 

And the worst part is that nobody will care that you were a nice landlord and spent the last 5 years renting at below market rents to your tenants.

Some people just don't know how to break down boxes and other bulky items.

Again, your attorney (experienced in REI, not just a RE transaction attorney) is your best advisor.If all of your partners are both investors and GPs, then a JV should be sufficient.Money spent on professional advisors, whether attorneys, CPAs, etc. is well spent and will improve your returns and reduce potential headaches in the future.It also looks like you have a bridge loan on this property which, given this market, could be an issue at year 3. 

Before you know it you'll have spent 4 months researching markets, and still not made a decision.
