You can then use the LLC directly to purchase property, pay for expenses and receive income without 3rd party interaction. 

I'm on a first name basis with Dolf, because after listening to him speak and interact personally with the audience for 15 hours, I feel like I know him pretty well.

The group is fantastic and I love the daily interaction we have - the encouragement and support is unparalleled, to steal Anna Latysheva's phrase... it's a big group of "Yaysayers" LOLAlso I have to thank Gino Barbaro and Jake Stenziano for creating the Wheelbarrow Profits platform, putting "people first" and creating an entire community of go-givers. 

Look forward to interacting with your guys and learning from everyone's blogs andor post. 

utm_source=search&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=books (books recommended by BPers)Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational, thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

Also, side note: - would love to interact and get in touch with folks who have a sizable chunk of the portfolio allocated in condos.

They are self help legal books and have books on creating your own LLC.I am not suggesting you do it yourself but learning some basics will help you better interact with the professional you choose.

For instance, now California also requires license for processors and underwriters regardless of borrower interaction or the lack of term negotiations.

I'm looking forward to interacting and meeting some of the people in this community.Cheers!

@Carrie Hatcher My wife is a financial planner, and they’re very good at what they do, through her I’ve interacted with quite a few financial planners, I’ve found most of them go blank faced when you try to have actual real estate investment conversations and most aren’t well versed in the type of investing that BiggerPockets promotes, I’d lean towards a real estate experienced CPA I’d recommend Brandon Cox with BMC Accounting out of Toledo OH
