Buy a list and send mailers. etc.As for jobs, I'll only speak to my own experience as a Property Manager.

@Troy Walcott I would recommend to speak with a few an interview them. 

Your ability to speak to 'why it's a good investment' will rest largely on your ability to explain the numbers to both parties.

I work mostly in Oakland, and Berkeley but do some deals in Richmond and would be happy to speak with you.

I do agree they won't want to speak to me as I'm not the homeowner. 

How should I go about getting to speak with the tenants?  

Thanks for the mention Account ClosedI am not speaking in reference to a rental in any capacity.

The assets they can go after is capped by what the LLC owns not what YOU own.Now generally speaking, is the LLC a good solution or not, it's debatable.

I've heard this person (Bill Noll) speak on this issue.

@Shera GregoryThis is a conversation to have with your licensed tax advisor.Generally speaking, an entity that is wholly owned by a 401(k) would be disregarded, so that the tax liability will flow to the 401(k).
