I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

Quote from @Nathan Nathan: Hi, I am planning to create LLCs in Wyoming , Michigan and Georgia.

Yes we definitely encourage everyone to STICK TO THE PLAN when renovating!

I did a cash out refi on my principal residence at a much lower rate and paid it off.Now I plan on using the equity for more purchases.What? 

Are you planning to build, hold, or flip the land?

If you need recommendations for estate planning attorneys or CPAs in San Diego, let me know.

Assuming you don't plan on going back into any consumer debt again I like your plan versus barely getting by.

My initial plan had been to do something like Rent-to-Retirement or REI Nation- assuming that I'd be leaving money on the table to pay for their expertise, but hoping that I would learn through the process and develop the confidence to strike out on my own later. 

i tell them all the time to find a good W2 job you like and you plan on staying with a long time.
