I am currently pursuing my masters in the Social Anthropology of Development at SOAS, University of London, and I recently graduated from Spelman College (May 2015).

So early on in this game it's important that you're the master of your own ship and educate yourself as much as you can so you won't have to rely on an agent.  

I agree 100% Russell.that's why I'm looking to learn as much as possible so when I have mastered my personal finances I'll be ready to invest.

So I've been reading about the master lease agreement, which is an awesome idea (thanks Brandon Turner).

We are about 20 minutes away from Augusta GA, which many of you probably know hosts the Masters tournament in April every year.  

In an IRA, it is pretty easy to setup a structure where you can control the IRA funds via a master IRA-owned LLC, then have that LLC hold the membership interest of a sub-layer of LLC entities that hold properties.  

The only major renovation projects for this property are a horribly done master bathroom remodel that will have to ripped out and re-done, the well needs some TLC, the exterior was painted or horrible color, and the landscaping was not cared for and thus all died (due to the well having problems). 

I would call leads myself, it's important to know and master the art of speaking with sellers, so in the beginning try calling the leads yourself so you can be familiar with some common objections you'll face, questions, and concerns sellers will have.

When we respect and master the mechanics of debt we will become very wealhy.Keep the momentum...Frank
