I live in California.I also wanted to know if there was anything you wish you had known before setting up an LLC/IRA and why you chose to set one up and has having one met your expectations?

Quote from @Preston Dean: Quote from @Michael Ewers: Quote from @Preston Dean: Hi @Michael EwersI have had a few past clients from Cali call me saying "I sent post cards to home sellers and I have someone who wants to sell, can you help me with pictures and videos" I think their method was just mass mail and they got a few hits.

Mine was also out of state, in a town I’d never visited, and I relied heavily on videos from my agent.This sounds like a tough first deal, but it seems like you have some capital on the side, which will be useful as you face the upcoming challenges and learn from those expensive early mistakes.Regarding the subject of this post, “help me adjust my expectations,” I’d recommend assuming that; repairs will cost twice as much as you estimate, maintenance and vacancy rates will likely double from your initial projections, there’s a very real chance you may lose money on this deal.That said, there are ways to mitigate these risks by:- Keep asking questions here on BP and connecting with local experts- Stay proactive and communicative with your agent and property manager.And remember “Inspect what you expect.”Im not trying to discourage you but to help reset your expectations.

A coach makes sense if you are 23 and want to increase your skills enough to earn a living with the sport.

While you may be willing to live without heat/ac or hot water for a week.

Right now I have two properties live.

Quote from @Kaleb Garrett: In the town my parents live in (small town in East Tennessee) there is a small solar farm.

Are you looking to find a home to buy for yourself to live in? 

I don't know what's going on in their lives, and usually if someone is punching up at a landlord or their representative it's because of something in their lives that they're really stressed out about.
