. $1400 for gas and a 6x6 inch block of concrete?!?!

I look forward to learning and growing as an investor and a landlord. 

You'd likely be okay with just proof of funds, and a signed note might very well work. 

We have been eating with paper plates and cups since September 1st, and since we can't store anything in the kitchen, our dining room has become a storage area with plastic shelves, boxes and a china cabinet that acts as a pantry. 

But there may be stellar deals offering awesome ROI in both areas six months apart, so as long as the "power 4" (as they called them in the podcast) are established in both areas then it really just comes down to deal chasing.At least that's how I see it as someone with one rental and a big dream lol 

Some people think its best to put everyone and a single LLC...but I agree its a lot of work and costs.  

You will still need liability and umbrella insurance.For me, after analyzing my situation, I decided to go with one LLC per property with a holding LLC and a property management C corp.

Tie to sell...especially those homes that have chickens in the living room and a dog kennels in the back bed room...

You just have to find a balance between a place that you want to live and a good investment.

RRN is a new program being formed by the city of Norfolk for Norfolk landlords and tenants that not only provides free education for both parties, but also offers landlords free voluntary property inspections and a free marketing platform for any properties you have inspected.
