Hi Patrick,I host a meetup in Los Gatos and it is dedicated to out of state multifamily ...I own more than 200 units in TX, and this meetup is about sharing the experience and bringing like-minded people togetmeetup.com/Los-Gatos-Real-Estate-Networking-Meetupher.I think it may be interesting for you...

Reasons may include a failure by the landlord to provide peaceful quiet enjoyment of the premises to the tenant, defects in the property, failure on the part of the landlord to make a legally required repair, or a host of other reasons which seem to come out of left field and astound the landlord when the breach occurs and the tenant is demanding a refund of the prepaid rent.

I don't think I want to work for a firm but I was told that if I had my real estate license that I would need to be sponsored by one in order to sell in Rhode Island. 

Because it is free, some of the presentations were hosted by "gurus" who want to sell you something: "If you sign up for my special seminar today, you only have to pay a special price of $xxxx and I will teach you everything I know."

@Jim Carson, I'm in the process of rearranging my corporate structure as well.My local Indy corporate attorney advised against using the series LLC option since it's brand new to our State and there is no precedent yet with them to see if they stand up in court as expected.For me, this is the way I'm leaning:Convert my S Corp to a C Corp as the holding or management company, then use LLC or Land Trust for each property or set of properties that is then all held by my Living Trust.As far as the comment above about having your CPA setup your LLC structure - I've always been a firm believer of paying the right professional for the job...I'll gladly pay more now to the attorney to setup my LLC vs. saving a few bucks to have my CPA [bean counter] do it [unless the CPA is also a real estate attorney] - just my two cents...

., and a Real Estate Investment Brokerage in case you ever decide to sell.By teaming up with a solid firm you can mitigate your risk and have some "boots on the ground" that have your best interest in mind. 

Our freind and NoteMBA podcast host @Robert Woods is using Salesforce.com, still others use their own things.
