Do I have to start applying to different brokers as we regularly do in Corporate world?

There's an organisation in Illinois that has charter to "fix the problem"  It's name Community Investment Corporation (CIC).  

I have since updated the lease template that I use.  

Hard to find better tenants in my opinion.Living there for the time that I have, I know that it doesn't need any major repairs and he's even updated several areas as well. 

Here is an update.  

Locate an investor friendly agent that is willing to send you updates regarding listings in your farm area.

Straight out of high school I served in the military and then spent the past 10 years working in IT.I have finally reached a point where I’m tired of working for the corporate industry on a limited salary while doing nothing for my retirement.For the past year I’ve been watching house flipping shows and decided I wanted to give it a try.Six months ago I bought my first house with a 203k loan that I’m currently living in so I could get some experience.I paid $167,500 for the house and took out $35,000 with the 203k.The house was a probate that had been abandoned for 5 years.Half the house was on a concrete slab that had sunk about 4” in the middle and it was completely outdated.We removed 2 load bearing walls to open up the kitchen, knocked out the back wall, built a new subfloor, and put up a 4 panel sliding glass door to let in some sun light.We installed porcelain tile in the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and quartz counters as well as recessed lighting.We fixed the foundation problems by mudjacking to raise the floors and carpeted the back 3 rooms that sat on top of the slab.As you can imagine we ran through the $35,000 quickly.The 2 bathrooms are still outdated and the house needs new siding.After the renovation we had it reappraised (per the 203k loan agreement) and they said it was worth $215,000.About 3 months after the renovation I attended a 3 day Fortune Builders seminar and come to a realization I probably could have saved about $20,000 if I had systems and processes to follow before I purchased the house.After listening to BP podcasts and hear other people’s experiences I’m quite fortunate I didn’t lose money.This sums up my real estate investing experience.

A new landlord under rent control can only update rents at market for new tenants, once the old one moves out.

I'm not buying that a LLC will protect you ... there are just too many ways to easily pierce the corporate veil.

And I plan on building it to a full fledged corporation after this allows me to be financially independent.
