While I can't provide details yet, I plan to use the Local Public Offering (LPO) as defined by the Final Adopted NC PACES Act Rules.Just a sidebar, the offering that I plan to submit is not directly related to real estate investing.

So I am relatively new to investing and trying to learn as much as I can, asking questions and meeting with experienced investors i'm ready to jump off the edge, but in my competitive market its hard to find a deal that matches my investing criteria. however I'm not letting this deter me from my goals I look at my automatic MLS alerts everyday and analyze deals as much as possible.

My goal is to have 50 units by age 30.

interested in the start-to-finish as it relates to funding, first and foremost, and then everything else.  

Here is another thread you might find it related to your question: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/551672-asset-protectiondoes-it-even-matterAnd another: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/509923-when-has-an-llc-actually-saved-your-assets

I know a lot about "your market" because I have relatives there and it defies all logic.

I've done a lot of researching, but I can't seem to find anything relating to that in particular. 

Granted, I am relatively new to the small commercial buildings, and my experience has been in the residential, where things are relatively easier.To clarify a few points, the management company have their own maintenance teams as well, so it's not a function of them stalling services because they don't make money.

And the foot print has to be relatively small (650 sqft) for the printer. 

When your around 25(my age) you will be a monster!
