Investing throughout the Midwest area and expanding.

And, if you have an LLC with more than 1 person in it (yeah, they can pierce the corporate veil more easily if you are a sole member LLC or if it is just you and your wife...) you become more protected personally when you finally are getting deals going without having to play "catch up" or creating an entity for the "sole purpose of asset protection" (something my lawyer said to me...).Hope that helps!

Also make sure you have another exit strategy, if you buy below market you'll have equity and will be able to easily sell in the future.Most deals on MLS aren't going to leave you much room, too little inventory and too much competition.

I have what I consider an interesting scenario and I am curious to get some coaching/thoughts/feedback from fellow BP members:I have a seller who wants to get out of her property (4 family in Cincinnati, Ohio), but ultimately wants more than it’s worth (in my opinion), but she has great equity so I offered her full price if she was willing to seller finance the remaining portion at 0% for up to 3 years so that I could easily refinance and get her paid off later.
