For starters, entity structures don't position you for success, they just give you a vehicle from which to conduct your operations.

A simple google hangouts can be a good new avenue to conduct these meetings.

We did some 'driving for dollars' but I have not conducted a direct mailing campaign yet.

My wife or I fly to see every property we purchase OOS, conduct the walkthrough with our property manager and our contractors, the inspection with the building inspector, & if possible be there for the appraisal as well.

@Ryan Wallace I may need to do all 3…it’s a shame some people can’t conduct themselves professionally and honorably.

Also, note that there is no limit to the depreciation we can add back, in case you conducted a cost segregation study and thereafter wrote off an abnormally large sum of depreciation.Hope this is helpful to you!

Thanks in advance for your advice.Hi Leo,There is a key question that I personally use when looking at entering into new business ventures.The questions you as is this "Are you willing work answer any questions I might have and guide me for 9-12 months before any business is conducted"?

Once they list that property (Oh btw they will use photo shop to make the property look as clean as possible) buyers come to preview and they are totally turned off, local buyers agents know it's over priced do not take buyers to preview, if someone offers under the seller rejects or counters at the same overpriced number, days on the market starts to exceed, all the investors are totally rejected, then one buyer comes in at full asking price which is probably an FHA buyer, the appraisal is conducted, comes in under by $75k and the properties back on the market. 

I was a landlord for 7 years and much prefer just paying someone to do it for me so I don't have the fuss, am still profitable and conduct their fees as a business expense, and spend my time focused on my career, new investments, and personal time.  

One of them wanted on my buyers list, the other wanted me to conduct a full blown marketing campaign for him.One was a former Seller that I had bought a house from.
