To me, the idea of LLCs is business smart because it not only protects personal from business assets (as well as one asset from another), but really spells out the expectations in the operating agreement and, possibly, a subscription agreement if there are multiple investors.Feel free to reach out to me or members of my team if you want to learn more.

@Surendra Chawla No I am just about starting out and don't have a team (or even a single member of a team for tha tmatter :-)).I shared the same philosophy "I don’t want to buy in a place where there is lots of new construction" and it paid off for me.

Other than that we've had one divorce, one lost job, and one health issue.

I would appreciate any help you guys could provide to me so I can build a team here in the Jacksonville market!

It’s my intention and hopes that the additional properties will offset the lost rental income.I originally purchased the properties using the proceeds from the 1031 tax exchange.

Hey @Luis Marcelino, definitely touch base with @Shawn Washington as he's a brilliant guy and tremendous asset to have on your team.

I signed up as a pro member of BP, joined a webinar by @Brandon Turner, analyzed a potential deal, have been listening to 1 podcast per day for 6 days a week, have been reading BP articles, started reading BP's The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing and Building Wealth One House at a Time, bought 4 BP books, created my BP profile, talked with a California real estate agent, talked with an Indiana real estate agent in referral, talked with a friend who's a real estate investor, asked friends for real estate agent referrals (even out of state like Nevada, Chicago and Tennessee), etc.Bottom line is I'm super pumped about real estate investing :) Just in case anyone is curious, I'm looking for a team of mentors, real estate markets outside of California markets, real estate agents, mortgage brokers/loan officers, real estate attorneys, property managers, contractors, insurance agents and handymen.

Try to get on a team who is actively buying and managing properties and help out. 

Be very friendly and assuming you can pry a forwarding address out of them the day after they move I would file with Small Claims Court for all lost income up to the time it is re-rented.

As part of your due diligence on any market and provider team you are considering, I would plan a trip to meet and tour with those teams.
