These down cycles rarely hit the same asset class in the same way, so I don't think we should assume that the next big crash will be in real estate...anyone know a good psychic?

Wealth creation is the goal.

If anything the greater concerns are increasing wage & class gaps, the artificial creation of dollars by the US, shifting policies that artificially create favorable market conditions, and things that if I think about it too long make my IQ of at least 1 start to hurt my head.

The game of wealth creation is to "leverage appreciating assets".

@Steven Betz The creation of an LLC can be done by anyone including yourself.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

You get to see all kinds of different personalities so get experience quick and are not driving buyers all over creation showing properties.

Investor grade is a creation of mine.  

Drive all over creation showing houses.  

I am looking to connect with a local attorney that has knowledge on the creation of Missouri Series LLC's for the purpose of holding title to property and the advantages vs. disadvantages.
