Double check as to your insurance exposure, I'm sure you will.

I am a buy-and-hold investor who prefers (and currently owns) stock and bond index funds to gain controlled market exposure, so my interest is really just in risk hedging and diversification—or potentially higher profits.My aim is to divert much of my income to investments that will help me achieve financial independence at a relatively early age, retaining a realistic perspective about cyclical market conditions, loss, risk, and expected returns.Thanks.

If not lead free you can be sued 20 years later for an exposure.  

My experience in real estate investing is limited to my own reading and research and the exposure I have with my current job. 

Internet ads are cheap, but their effectiveness varies depending on exposure.

More exposure, more eyeballs looking at it means more prospects and suspects.

Will turn over rental site with reviews as well, which is a huge bonus - it's OK with Home Away (where we get most rentals), not sure about FlipKey yet. 

I've also moved the topic to the Wholesaling Sub-forum, where I think you'll find more exposure to your question.

An added bonus of putting a lot of money down is that both of these guys have very few concerns on a day to day basis, and are just following long-term plans to build intergenerational wealth of which real estate is only one piece of the puzzle.NMD may be the only way to go for some people just starting out with no capital, but it decreases the likelihood of success.

It just limits your exposure to the only assets lowed by the LLC.
