So, unless the house had recently changed hands with a mortgage and title insurance, it's always best to spend the time and look at the titlework ahead of time, because the attorney puts it off until the last minute.

@Charles Fabiano  We send out letters and spend 1600 in marketing per month.

Anyone have any thoughts on why/why not this would be a good or bad idea (besides the obvious "don't spend the cash").Johnny

Keep all the money you would spend setting up complicated business structures and put it in the bank.

Just spending my days and nights reading and listining to podcasts and getting educated.

Haven't bought, still debating on exactly what to buy and how much to spend on 1st deal.  

I think it's better to just keep properties together under one LLC if you are a small operation - even though there is always risk the amount you end up spending and time spent on overhead of keeping separate books, checking accounts, etc adds up fast.  

The next year I would speak to someone like Walt Kaminski, about buying tax certificates and find out where the highest yielding certs are, and I would spend 100K there.

That's fine in the beginning - you need to spend time learning how real estate investing can help you reach your goals -- and what those goals are.

I don't have that type of money nor do I see spending it on their program when I could very well be using the same $40,000 to get some of my first deals completed.
