To be honest, I'd focus more on finding the deals.

I have an investment property in Los Angeles county, my tenant is paying me on time.   

Rents tend to rise over time, amortization steadily increases equity, incomes rise, so the investor has a lot of “cover” for unfortunate timing or operating “mistakes”.Number 2 - periods like 1932 - 1941 and 2008 - 2013 are much harder on this strategy.  

Don't need an LLC, which adds to the cost (for now since everything is in a trust and I have an umbrella policy for liability, eventually I will get an LLC where I can spread the costs out)I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this.

So for now I am striking out on my own. 

I would appreciate any advice on this.

I’m getting 15-30% CoC on them and I’ve bought 3 in the last 18 months.  

Every time the weather pulled a new one, their team adjusted and made all of the conference goers forget what was going on outside and focus on all of the networking and learning inside.

That is on them to figure it out.Are you listed on the MLS with an agent as well?

Nice move on the buy side, and excellent situation where STR/MTR assists you in covering the mortgage.
