You can:1) call your accountant to make sure that there is not a better vehicle for your business structure.2) file paperwork yourself (if you can in your state)3) make sure your attorney knows you have an LLC the next time you meet with him.You may find that you get flexible taxing strategies with your new LLC, but you might not be able to file your own evictions on your rentals.

Over the long haul, I believe there is no better investment vehicle.

Managing from afar is a recipe for chaos.I also recommend checking out Motor City Mapping, which has up-to-date pictures and information on the state of every property in the city. 

That combined with a properly maintained entity provide you very good security for all of your assets including your bank accounts, your investment accounts, your personal house and your vehicles - not just your business.  

Purchasing rental property in cash with no debt is doable for sure, but it completely eliminates the advantages that real estate provides as an investment and equity growth vehicle. 

I often flip items with motors (boats, cars, motorcycles) They're almost always good for a minimum of 50% return, sometimes 200%+ Problem is those 50%-200% returns are usually only $500-$1500..

Look at it this way: If you drive a personal vehicle to a property for a work-related reason, you're incurring an expense (gas, vehicle maintenance) to perform that task.

However, it appears common for many to think that taxation within a vehicle that is supposed to be tax deferred (or tax free) defeats the whole purpose and this is not necessarily the case.

If you work for a Contractor, you will end up learning a lot about construction and it will help you when you start doing your own fix and flips.If you truly are not handy, and if you have a dependable vehicle, look into being a pizza delivery driver in the evenings.  

I wouldn't say I drive a poor vehicle, but rather a small pickup truck - practical for my needs, but not necessarily your standard business-type vehicle.
