Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers1.

Amazingly a realtor will ignore me, but when I have a recognized top broker reach out on my behalf, they get an immediate call back.

If permitted, I'd imagine I would need to work with USPS to create a "dummy" apartment number that would be recognized as my business mailing address for the property. 

@Tim Woodbridge I'm very interested and just put down 4DX myself, as well as listened to the podcast interview several times. 

At the federal level on the tax side, there was an IRS PLR recognizing validity of the S-LLC.

@Nathan Killebrew, I think it's great that you have this mindset and that you are keeping your mind open to a different kind of opportunity.It's a delicate balance between remaining focused on a particular strategy so that you can see your goal through to a succesful conclusion and also being careful not to miss an opportunity which might be a little outside the box.I was listening to a podcast interview with Tom Dunkel recently, he has been investing full time in alternative assets since 2006.

My word of caution is to recognize that sometimes the terminology and processes are different (but that could also be said in between states and provinces anyway so it’s not really a country issue). 

They may actually force the local bank to recognize impairment on the asset.

It doesn't make too much sense to sell a portion of the property if you're going to contribute it to an LLC (theoretically taxed as a partnership).Generally no gain or loss is recognized on transfer of assets to a partnership. 

I had recently honed in on Houston, TX and have now been building a contact list of investor-friendly realtors I can interview.
