I’ve been on both sides (active & passive) and they both get the benefits of improving a community, providing safe affordable housing, and offering a safe consistent investment vehicle to others.

Your'e looking to build wealth over time by using Real Estate Investing as a vehicle.

Thanks for your thoughts @Paul Jamgotch .The way I have to look at it is that I bring 3 pieces to the table:The ability to put an investment partnership together and make them moneyThe ability to handle the real estate transaction on the buy and sell, saving 6% of net at a minimumA contractor with skin in the game, who also owns a cabinet shop and handles many of the sub jobs personally.These investors see what a tremendous opportunity they have to multiply their return compared to their current vehicle.

Increase the presence of concerned citizens.Report any code violations (such as health and safety, vehicle plate registration, parking violations, property upkeep, etc.) regarding the activity and property to the appropriate authorities in city, county, and state government.You and your neighbors can improve your properties to make the neighborhood safer and less inviting to criminals.

I'm a sole proprietor at the moment and I've always had the mindset of working for myself and investing in something so that I can have an extra income vehicle.

Any thoughts, ideas, pros and cons of this vehicle are greatly appreciated.

Does your lease specify any criteria regarding unauthorized, disabled or nuisance vehicles?

Are you purley buying this for capital preservation or as vehicle that you banking on will appreciate?

If you get sued with a "blanket" or "umbrella policy" they can get at ALL of your equity in ALL of your property as well as your personal bank accounts and private vehicles, etc. if the house that gets sued is in a different LLC from the rest, they can only go after what is in the LLC.

Up until a year and a half ago I followed that basic plan and hoped to retire with a nice "nest egg".When my eyes were opened to real estate investing I was searching for a higher yielding and safer vehicle to hold my money than the stock market, a 401K, a bank account, etc.
