I'm starting law school this fall, with the aim of creating my own practice partly focused on real estate, and I am excited to help others and learn a few things myself. 

I’m a control freak so being long distance forces me to overcome that and put systems in place instead.

If you want to show up daily, negotiate with the drywaller, quality control the finish guys, then don't hire a GC. 

My real estate agent has not heard of this and I’m baffled as to how they can legally add an expense that I do not have.Is this standard practice?

Why are you paying $75/month consistently for pest control?

I've been searching through Google and it seems the attorneys I'm finding practice every type of law.

I practice long distance investing and have learned that the easiest way to open a credit union account in a state that you do not reside in is by opening an LLC or Corp in that state and then opening the account under that company.

They had the listing for the first two months and after doing some quality control spot checking on the listing, I realized they were doing a HORRIBLE job marketing and maintaining the property. 

It’s widely accepted that real estate is America’s best tax shelter, but when you consider its other benefits (income, control over investment, forced appreciation, the ability to leverage, and protection from inflation), it’s easy to understand why real estate is also America’s best investment, and your best path to that most sought-after lifestyle…Freedom.Ian Parrish

I think it was like a dental practice or something?
