The only time I've ever done longer than a 12 month lease was with a tenant who I had a long history with, who I trusted, and who had verifiable reasons to stay at the property for more than 12 months (she had a job in the neighborhood that had an 18 month contract)...a long lease can be great if it's an A+ tenant you know well and trust, but a long lease with an unknown tenant is a gamble... 

But... from what I gather, not all states (including WI, where I intend to purchase properties) have laws or cases that recognize Series LLCs or "cells" within a Series LLC.

I also recognize that we've had the wind at our backs with a rising market for nearly a decade.

@Adriel WattsWait a minute, how did your PM not recognize the possibility that the Type X drywall on your garage ceiling could fail?

Investors who recognize and capitalize on opportunities might thrive even in uncertain times.Real estate investments might be a great way to generate passive income and build long-term wealth.

I firmly believe there's always opportunity wherever we are, we just may not always recognize it.With that being said, yes there are certain markets that have great growth metrics and are widely known as some of the top investing markets but ultimately you need to decide on a market and location that makes the most sense to you.As of right now I've only invested in Arizona.

See - that's why you are @J Scott :)Newbies listen up: it is important to recognize all of the value centers in a particular proposition.

Don't include photos of the outside of the home or photos that she will quickly recognize.

At times, I have been "disregarded" because I wasn't known as the owner, it didn't bother me one bit....Most of the tenants recognize me as a representative on the behalf of the owner.

Maybe, but you're taking a big gamble that the person you are working with is taking shortcuts to get there.
