I started by placing my 1st rental property into an LLC (for this example, *JOHN SMITH PROPERTY INVESTMENT, LLC*).

If you are looking for no money down deals thats where I would start.

Retirement accounts are illiquid (at least until you reach an age to start taking distributions.)

I looked for months, and looked at SFH, apts, houses on leased land, mobiles homes and everything that was cheap because I had so little money and had just started a new entry level job 9 months earlier. 

For attractive terms, lenders would like to see a minimum of 1.00 DSCR (Rents fully cover the total mortgage payment)3.

If you are new, you want that contract to be tight, but more than that, you want to be able to explain transparently what you are doing and that starts with a streamlined contract with assignment clause.
