Many are more slippery than a banana peel on a freshly mopped floor:)To find a RE group in your area google REIA with your town and see what comes up.

If a landlord wants a tenant to cut grass, not only should the lease so state, but also the landlord needs to provide a lawnmower that actually works well and a place to store it out of the weather, along with any other landscape tools the tenant will need. 

I think the LLP path is to convert to an LP...but I don't think an LP offers full liability protection for all of the partners.So, if I were starting out fresh I would hold the properties in my own name and do my best to protect against liability with a lot of liability insurance,  it wouldn't be a cap or firewall, but with lots of liability insurance the risk would be reduced.  

Hi everyone - I've been snooping (Learning & Listening) from you all for a couple of weeks now and finally have decided to introduce myself!  Been a long time investor in the markets (since my teens) but I'm tired...

I'll keep checking the app store, too, so no worries if you forget.

If a tenant comes with their own fridge, I will store the one that is there.

I get that quitting a job may be the right call for the 9-5er that has a truly poisonous existence at his/her company and wants to start fresh in real estate.

I am super excited about what the future has in store for us! 

In addition to my real estate income I work at Sleepys (mattress store) which brings me to about $75,000 per year, but because my job is commission based I need to show 2 years of consistent employment in order for the banks to consider my income which leaves me in a tough spot for a loan.

Get a 2nd job and save, save, save.To build your credit....get a couple credit cards....dont use them. get a store credit card...again, dont use it.
