We could separate firsts from seconds to be safe but let's just condition those to be included in general knowing that they carry a tad more risk and thus push expectations up a little bit.  

-if you do still feel bad, there are demo companies that will separate anything recyclable, reusable, salvageable, etc from the trash, but they probably cost a little more and take a little longer.

So they had no issue with you being with two separate brokerages in different states, correct?

Do RE attorneys also do asset protection or is that a separate part of law?

But, it has separate meters for electric and gas.

I'll be glad to start a separate thread if it turns out that way.

Not affiliates, separate entities. :)

I have always tried to keep a separate "personal savings" and a "rental properties account" just so my rental property emergencies aren't digging into my personal savings.

I am trying to take my interest to the next level by creating an account here on biggerpockets.com, and dedicating my free-time to learning as much as I possibly can about real estate investing.Right now, I am north of Columbus Ohio, just recently separated from the armed forces, lived it and loved it and would do it again in a heart-beat.I did a fair amount of reading my last several months in the service, as well as the short time I have been out of the service.

Usually they are very competitive to get and may or may not be worth the aggravation.You would want to keep your business in a separate entity (LLC) from your real estate.Hope that helps some.
