20 years ago.Real Estate is a get rich slowly game so you have to get started and be patient.Real Estate makes money in 3 ways, cash flow, appreciation and mortgage paydown. 

I wouldn't worry about an LLC this early in the game.

It's just a numbers game for me.

My long term strategies are to master the game of buy and holds, who doesn't love passive income!?

I thought that was fair - he is also going to look into getting a line of credit to throw a little cash into the deal or keep it as a reserve so he has some skin in the game.  

I have heard most of them through audible or purchasing the audio books several times. and the more i listened while playing video games the more i thought i could do this.

These are what I like to call recycled product, which usually has a 5 - 8 year shelf life or in better terms the game of hot potatoes- who or which investor is getting stuck holding the bag.

@Chad W.How'd you like that game last night?  

A couple of friends of mine have been doing the real estate game for a while and after observing for too long, I am ready to dive in.

I'm somewhat new to the game (1 flip behind me).I'm on the other side of the river, but if you ever want to get together and talk shop, hit me up.
