It seems like there is a very strong real estate market out there. 

Share and discuss innovative strategies that have transformed your real estate investing approach.

For a long term real estate investor, or one who hopes to be in it long term, a great lender relationship may be VITAL to your survival during hard times and your ability to take advantage of wealth building opportunities during good times.  

My plan A for my folks will always be to hire a 3rd party, but having done this for a very long time, I know I will come across those that want to be at least a little more hands on and I want them to have an option.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Cheers,Robert

Our LLC is on the deed and they sell like regular real estate.Any thoughts?

You might find that "saving" on taxes is small compared to what the property might be worth (talk with a trusted real estate agent who knows the area and can give a projection of property values).Don't forget to factor in closing costs (real estate fees, pro-rated property taxes, etc) and take into consideration your other income and/or investments. 

How is private money lending currently influencing the real estate market?

@Bob Asad   I have had great success buying and renting SFH, but also doing other real estate actions. 

Also rental rates are dropping, and we are already seeing rental loan rates in the 5% range, I would expect to see rental rates under 5% by January.If you are going to be a real estate investor for the long term, why don't have your Real Estate License?

However, this is not specific legal advice to you, just an opinion based on the circumstances described.Do I Need an LLC to Invest in Real Estate?
