I've lived and worked in the Daytona Beach area for 25 years and currently live in Port Orange, Florida.

Not all property needs to be owned in a LLC and does not have to be in a random state.

I remodeled and added a bedroom to the original house, and then built the second house after.  

Your Illinois LLC can own and hold a property in Kentucky.

I look forward to networking with rock stars and being inspired by; all of the awesome stories that will be told, briefs that will be given, comradery that will be built, laughs that will be had.

And a second question, How much interest should I pay to the people lending me some money?

Hoping to make fruitful connections with both investors and lenders alike. 

In Iowa the law was just passed that makes assigning contracts as a business model Illegal and the closing attorneys will not close those.This was a Wholetail deal  IE buy it trash it out and sell as is.

My partner and I are currently hold 2 properties in the Glendale area that have done quite well.

And do I have to close this deal with short term private money lending first then get the equity partner in afterwards?
