I was subbed by a GC to do the work at a chain restaurant.  

never mind the pink tub and toilet, are those GOLD walls?

I ended up using a "chain" property management company instead of an individual because I thought I'd be better protected...

It's mostly laws and regulations so would highly suggest buying a book (I got the one from Gold Coast) and just attending whatever accredited school that falls in your budget.

I have an eye for numbers. and I live in a city with tons of property for sale cheap. I've found no fewer than 9 multi family dwellings that are ripe for the plucking but I'm so broke I can't afford a free phone call....

I've complied with a lot of the improvements that they needed such as fixing the lights, chaining up the AC's, and forcing my tenants to register their cars for one.

That's gold when it comes to really being able to analyse potential investments.

I know the rules are “he whose got the gold makes the rules”.

When this transfer deed is recorded at the county, the new owner of record will be the LLC and the chain of title will show you transferred from your personal name to the LLC.

After another interesting process with a construction mortgage and then rolling it over into a traditional mortgage, I now have a passive solar, LEED gold compliant house that I meant to live in for the next 50 years...
