“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” ~ Jerry Rice

@Dante Pirouz: I did have all the numbers but I believe I did my analysis incorrectly, and it is something I am still gaining experience on, I haven't talked to the seller yet, partially because, this is some what hypothetical for me with the lack of funding, and I have to be very creative on how I accomplish that. 

You can accomplish this through a trust by slowly adding benificial interest, or through a LLC by slowly giving membership interest, or by adding slowly as tenants in common on title.

Despite this, I believe with the correct mentoring that major things can be accomplished.

You will need to either a) build X number of teams (one for each area), or b) build X number of property managers.What are you accomplishing with national investing?

Do I need to set up a LLC or can this be accomplished by directly using a SDRIRA?

Therefore, I spend a lot of time understanding debt and mastering the use of it, so that I accomplish my real estate investment goals.The philosophical way to answer your question is for you to answer how big of a portfolio do you want.

Point is, you need to know what you're buying, why you're buying it, and what metric you need to accomplish your specific goal. 

I just wanted to take a minute to reflect on what our company has accomplished during the first quarter of the year.

I helped one of our agents on this recently, and it looked something like this: Agent wanted to have a take home pay after splits of $250K (up 10% of last year).to accomplish this we looked at how many house he needed to sell that year in his farm to hit his goal.We then looked at his marketing plans for the year to help accomplish that goalThis will lead us to our monthly "system"taking the goals he wanted to accomplish that year we further broke that down into what he needed to do each month and made a calendar. every two weeks he needed to send out some type of direct mail piece into his farm.Every week he wanted to send out an email blast through Constant Contact to his prospective clientsevery quarter he wanted to send out a larger "market update" direct maileradvertisement calendar for current listingsAnd then further breaking the month up to weeks and daysMondaycontact prospective clients met over the weekend at open houses or events.Add prospects to Constant ContactEmail current clients of updates from previous week (showings, open houses, market updates, etc...)TuesdayOffice meetingOrder marketing material for direct mailers and print advertisingFollow-up with prospective clients via phone callWednesdayBroker Previewupdate prospects on any good home you might have seen on previewThursdayfollow up on task not yet completed through the weekFridayPrepare material for open housescontact any prospective clients informing them of your open house.Sprinkled through out the week is the other floating items that need to pop-up during the week: lunch meetings, filing out paper work, listing presentations, follow-up on current escrows and the like.
