@Jay Hinrichs @Bill SargesonIf you either of you guys find yourselves around KGSO on a nice day I usually always have a few Columbia's that are just waiting to be "exercised"

I live in Virginia and have the same question as Alexander.Based on what I read over the last week, without a land trust, if you simply move the rental property from your personal name into an LLC, the lender has the option to exercise the "due on sale clause" aka acceleration clause, making you pay the remaining balance in full immediately.

OpenRoad (the CRM package) has some very nice features that integrate multiple areas of business process and can be purchased separate from the SIMMS product - it came with SIMMS for me.the platform itself is designed around an integrated marketing & lead generation play and is very sophisticated and well conceived.As I post, I am in the airport in San Diego (using the free wireless) after having attended the four day event to teach and enhance the understanding of the SIMMS system capabilities.

So now there's that fear that, when looking at properties and either doing a mental exercise or actually getting serious about buying it, there is something inherently bad about that property.

wow Bryan, way to bring back an old thread :)I do not give them anything back when they go to exercise the option.

Dark brown floors, white counter/cabinetry.I'm wondering if anyone has any good tips on how to take the pics, how to angle the camera, what modes to set them to, etc, and any computer software or websites I can use to edit, tweak, and enhance the photos to make them look spectacular.

I have not made an offer as of yet, but my plan is to  buy and hold 50 rental units in the next 10 years to enhance my retirement. 

Trying to balance risk versus reward versus active participation limitations from a couple oceans away, etc.Lending does seem like a fairly hands off exercise (at least when using a broker.)
