Meredith:I'm only licensed to practice law in your state of Minnesota, so keep that piece in mind. 

It sounds good in practice to keep exchanging to larger properties, but at some point you get old and tired.

I would've liked to buy additional properties since my first property but most of my capitol has had to go towards exercising my options in the company to save a tremendous amount in taxes in the long-term.I'm getting close to buying the maximum number of shares, and once I have, my primary focus will go towards preserving capital for real estate investing.

In practice as a CPA, we’ve had 2 clients end up in court disputes because of lousy/online OP agreements.

Fixing for a flip and a rental are different and it's best to go to the people in your area to see the best practices and to network with wholesalers you can find deals from.

Going through and checking the other properties on the market manually is a great practice every so often.

SEO (of course).SEO gives you an infinite ROI because the leads are (practically) free.Not only are the leads (practically) free, they are also the best possible quality leads any marketing venue can provide.Thirdly, you only start to spend effort on these leads AFTER you know they are motivated and want to sell (to YOU).
