Helped me to get my first big park and to form a plan for the rest.

They have several divisions and dozens of realtors..Sunshine, I don't know anything about and while the other two companies responded to my emails with immediate phone calls, they emailed which isnt a terrible thing but I haven't been able to form a bond.Cape Shore is small maybe 8 employees.

There isn't anything wrong, technically, with double closings but for most attorney firms, form a transaction volume standpoint, these deals are rare.

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

There's been a ton of discussion around when to form a LLC.

Even if you form a corp entity you have to pay yourself a reasonable salary and there will be pass through income.

Find a lender that you like, that you can communicate with and form a bond with them.

Thanks for your for your input on this.Follow up question - If you form a company and you have a real estate agent on your team, could that agent make referrals to other agents and collect referral fees?  

I'd already found a realtor off of BP, been watching the MLS for 8 months and had a good idea of where we wanted to live, how things would cash flow, and what would be a good price since I ran every house I saw over the months through my pro forma.
