You can also get real estate transaction info for free from your city and county and then look for individuals and LLC or corporations buying multiple properties for cash.

It's through attending events, you can find individuals who can help you invest.

But the individual members cannot exchange their interests by themselves.

The more exposure you provide, the greater chance you have of finding the individual who can help you.

One indicator to watch for is building costs rising.For example when I was buying in Atlanta in 2011 building costs were $18 per sq foot, today we are looking at around $100 per sq foot...boomSo what happened during this period?

@Jonathan StyerAre you trying to get a blanket loan for both properties or individual financing?

For other novice landlords out there when a rent payment does not go through and the tenant tells you "someone hacked their account" this is a lie 100% of the time and a indication you will not be receiving any more rent.

I know state by state they have restrictions as to how many homes an individual can sell before they need a license but I'm still unsure on this other part.

The percentage may differ based on the individuals and their needs but again the diversity needs to be there.I'll always be a RE guy first because that's what I know best but if you can tax free money from a cash out refinance, place it into an F.I.A. ( Fixed Indexed Annuity ) an literally be guaranteed not to ever lose money unless you withdraw it during the surrender period.

Check out these stats from NMHC that indicate about 34% of 5-49 unit properties are held directly.Many investors are scared into structuring their direct investments into LLCs to limit liability.
