2) Agent calls about fixer-uppers BEFORE they hit the market.Challenge will be getting them at the right price, w/o insulting the agent.If you have the time or funds to hire someone to do it for you, suggest you setup Constant Contact or similar program to send monthly reminders to agents about:1) Your repair services that save deals2) Post 1-3 success stories with quotes from agents you helped - because they all know each other3) That you are looking for fixer-uppers, with some loose buy-box parameters (don't be too restrictive or you won't get deal exposure)You can then add every agent you encounter.It will take 3-6 months, but will eventually snowball if you do good work.

Hello,I'm not sure if my other post with questions was successfully published here.What if there is no security deposit, and there is no clause in the lease for smoking damages?

Without that you can be sued personally for any issue within it on your str.Its much harder for people to pierce the corporate vail and sue you personally if your property is owned and managed in a LLC .Financing is one of the only drawbacks as it is a commercial process and banks usually like to see 3 years of a decent tax return.We have 19 properties and all are in an LLC and in fact we only hold 2-4 properties in each LLC (all are owned by one parent company and done in one flow through parent company)to even further shield the liability that may/can occur on a property.There is no doubt you are exposed to higher risk on many fronts if an investment property is held personally.
