Having physical offices is definitely an advantage, but honestly it is probably personal preference and what works best for you as an individual.

They are usually a very poor investment as a rental income investment.

Between Dec to March- the condo management found out there are Kitec Plumbing in every unit and every unit needs to replace it individually. 

As I imagine a lot of others have done, it all started with reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and quickly changed my mindset on how I want to operate financially.

For example: Say you, as an individual, can only spend $100/mo on marketing in a given zip code, you might get one lead per month, which leads to one new listing or sale per year (assuming an 8% conversion rate).Now, say you team up with two other people, and start spending $500/mo*, which leads to 8 leads per month.  

New Construction aside...which is of very poor quality here...we have a ton of properties available that are class C.

From an equity standpoint, as an equity only investor in a syndication your liability should be limited to whatever money you invest regardless of whether the money comes from you individually or through a LLC.

Depending on your individual tax bracket/rate this should save you money after all numbers are crunched, factoring in the amount of interest you pay as this is, obviously, a true cost.This of course also means that you, during the phase of paying off these mortgages quickly, will have less cash in your account.

There are a lot of individuals from Northern VA, DC, and Baltimore on here.Best of luck and let me know if there is anyway that I can add value to your investing goals.R/Dan
