And occasionally I will pay myself personally from that account some amount (not sure how much or how often).When filing for the LLC I would use my 'generic mailbox' as the LLC address and will find an attorney to be my Registered Agent.  

Hey BP'ers - I am hoping to connect with some wholesalers in Milwaukee who may regularly/occasionally have rental properties in their inventory.I'm a new real estate investor originally from Milwaukee, living in Minneapolis, and hoping to start to look for rental properties in Milwaukee that are good targets for hard money money financing.I'd love to hear from any Milwaukee wholesalers directly or hear recommendations.Thank you all!

(I also occasionally mention that insurance companies make the decisions they do on the basis of a hell of a lot of information, and so may in fact know more about pits than the idiots who pick one up at the shelter and have their toddler wrestling with it a week later.)This is one area where statutory limitations on security deposits can hurt tenants.  

I took some classes occasionally.

Having a friend or family member that can occasionally drive by and see if your property is still standing is not the same as having professional property management and I would never recommend someone invest out of state without professional management.

I attend occasionally and there is a solid group of investors that participate regularly.

Our accounting team has improved over the last 6 months at catching these but it is not a perfect system yet and occasionally a warranty item comes up, which we have to verify with the contractor or Martel team.

I've been burned before but have never made any serious personal mistakes in RE (aside from occasionally working with bad consultants). 96% of my problems have been caused by other parties.

I work for a billionaire property investor and occasionally we talk shop, and that makes it difficult to not want to take large but potentially risky chances!
