Search around the forums and blogs as there is a wealth of information laying around.

You should check the forums, blogs and certainly the podcasts!

I'm at a lot of "blogging" sites, like "SocialTriggers.com" or "SmartPassiveIncome.com" or tech sites like "TechCrunch.com."

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.

One of the things that is coming to me from my previous career as a sales rep for some of the top surf skate and snow companies is a style of lead generation that I see very few people mention in any of the forums / blogs that I have been reading over the past years. 

I can answer your question(s) based on my research—you should however seek additional help from a professional and tap into other resources here on BP (e.g. threads, articles, blog posts, podcasts, etc.).Answers:Traditional banks likely won’t lend to an LLC without a personal guarantee and if they do, it would unlikely be a conventional product or eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae (read find a portfolio lender).Selling your property for $1 to your LLC might trigger a due on sale clause in your mortgage agreement.

But I wouldn't string your realtor along if you go that route.I wrote a post on the topic based on my own experience - this might help: http://beta.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4518/blog_posts/33002-how-to-find-an-investor-friendly-real-estate-agent-part-1-of-2 

I would definitely recommend diving into the forums and blogs for anything you have questions about.

But recently, I discovered BP, and it really did (as cheesy as this sounds) feel empowering.

It also led me to discover Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which just might be one of the most influential books I think that I've ever read.I've bought and sold two primary residences, and now live in a third.
