I have some past experience with real estate, and I've bought and sold one condo, and I'm in the process of selling my small business.Most days, I work as an analyst in the construction rental industry, but I'd like to one day leave the corporate life and have various income-producing investments.If you are in the Los Angeles area and have good experience, I'd love to meet up for a cup of coffee.

I would say it's indisputable that higher leverage, particularly at current rates, produces more income if the market is steady in most areas.

I would also like to evict him from my building for this behavior, but fear that will only increase the threats/violence as soon as he gets notice of this.If I file for a protective order from this tenant, what becomes of him and his lease?

Looking to retire in the next 10-15 years with a rental portfolio producing passive income.

Now you must decide if you want to file an insurance claim or just come out of pocket.

How difficult is the process of filing tax documentation for a private money loan?

My understanding is AT LEAST, if you're going the LLC route, you need to file in every state.You create the entity in any state and then foreign file everywhere else.B&H investors need a business license to operate the rental(s), but flippers may be different per state.

Although I have made some mistakes with our rentals, I have loved it and want to build a portfolio that produces enough cash flow (2-3k/mo) to do this full time as I transition out of the military in the next four years.
