@Steven Silbert has a great meetup in Laurel, we basically sit around drink beer and talk about real estate.

Rent would be pure cash flow since no loan is needed.  

They were drinking, smoking marjuana, etc.. 

@Logan French - in the case you described, if you are taking on capital from purely passive investor you will need to get an exemption from the SEC. 

Quote from @James Celidonio: Looking for finance for myself to buy a 780 square foot condo in Manchester NJ. trying secure at most $100,000 to present to owner Pure investment property or do you plan to occupy?

I found two of my existing single-family properties vis pure networking relationships.

There’s many things to take into consideration and balance, neighborhood vs taxes, pure cash flo/ return vs long term stability, etc. 

I don't know if it was just a matter of losing sight of a bigger picture or just pure laziness but I want to change that.

@Lydia Nyambura, are you interested in a house hack or a pure rental?

LLC or no LLC If it is a vacation home, I would say no.I am someone who supports LLCs most of the time but it is different because I never plan on spending time at the properties.Get an umbrella policy/extra insurance and you should be fine.Plus it will be easier to get a loan on a vacation home than on a purely investment home.Have you considered holding in a trust?
