My Delaware LLC has a CA bank account attached to it and all three partners are in CA.

Four hour work week all the way (although, atmittedly, I haven't read the book yet ... it's on my list).

@Ricardo Cristobal I always caution people about out of state investments especially when youre just getting started @Brandon Turner always says try and look for a deal an 1-2 hours outside of the area that you live in when looking to invest in an expensive area, that device is sound and has worked for me and clients of mine who live in NYC.

The wrong way is to start with your VA loan, that loan should always be your 2nd loan not your first and here is why.As a Vet, you qualify to purchase up to three 2-4 unit houses with as little as 8.5% down Across all 3 purchases, but you can ONLY do this if the first loan you use is the 5% down conventional loan.

I spent 5-10 hours a month on my rentals.

We've already experienced this, missing out on the chance to bid on property by hours, because someone saw the house on Monday when we wanted to go in on Sunday but didn't get to until Tuesday because my agent was unavailable.

You could get three appraisals and the values could be completely different.
