Also, this protects your fee since the buyer can't buy the property until they own the LLC and,...this makes your fee invisible in the transaction....and in REI if you try to put your foot "through" the door instead of "in" the door, much like in real life, you're likely to break it.

To get there, I need to gain the experience in RE transactions, functioning as a landlord (with a PM company) and build my investment fund to multiples of where it’s at today.SHORT-TERM GOAL – I have been studying RE investing for about one month and I’m interested to start with detached single family and multifamily houses.

She and her partner closed 95 transactions last year, and I'd be glad to message you her information or provide her with your contact info so you can connect and talk about the current market!

Persistence, sweat equity, patience with the city department, and hard work does pay off. 

@Ashlie Greising  --- mentioned it might be worth getting a license and only going "active" when you need to do your transactions.

If I get a response and want to move forward with the purchase, I'd really like to work my realtor through the transaction.

Congratulations on the transaction.  

The current area that I'm in, has shown 22 cash transactions within the last 12 months.
