My plan is to hold & rent to reap long term benefits.

What are the benefits of putting my rentals (2 single family, 2 condos, 1 fourplex) under an LLC instead of just at my name?

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

Without including any of the other important advantages of using the land for storage and some tax benefits, a really smart Wall Street investor could have just invested 70K in Apple stock and done about as well over a 4-year period. 

The partner I have in San Diego is very well connect, and she would be willing to help you out in any way possible even if it doesn't benefit her financially; it's always good to have friends in such an awesome area of the country.

Benefits of working under a brokerage- they take on the majority of your liability, handle earnest money, branding, marketing, administrative support, technology, office space to meet your clients, trainings, networking, other senior and junior agents to help you.

Previously had an attorney and cost hundreds with really no benefit other then the eviction never recieved any money or anything so figured I'd represent myself.

The negative ----- delinquent tax sales, foreclosures, vacant properties, rent court, housing court, devoices and any other situation where sellers have a problem that needs to be solved.Warning ----- don't be a predator..... help people with problems - solve their issues and you will benefit from the LAW of Prosperity  Consciousness.  

Hello GeorgeI congratulate you for even being in a position to think about purchasing an investment property but I think you would benefit more both short and long term if you improved your existing situation before you pulled the trigger on any type of purchase.First of all, your 600 FICO will make your decision as to which type of loan you want to proceed with a lot easier than you think.
