Are you offering a preferred return?

I prefer using leverage to scale my business. 

I would recommend talking with a lawyer and an accountant - preferably both at the same time whether on a call or in-person so you can learn about potential tax benefits/drawbacks and if an LLC is right for what you're doing.Also, spend the extra $200-300 and have the lawyer draft you an Operating Agreement - especially if it's not just a single-member LLC and you have partners. 

That's why whenever I write an offer, I CC my preferred loan officer and say that I have worked with him multiple times, including my own refinance.  

Hi,My girlfriend and I are looking to purchase a first investment property soon, and we were wondering if there was a preferred bank to open up a business account.

My preferred area is more north, about 3 hours away from where I am currently working.

If they bring me something else, the onus is on them.By the way, I work with a number of REA, and none of them have a problem with this, and all of them agree this method is one they prefer because it wastes far less time...and all of the agents are very experienced...and all of them are very good at filtering out properties before they bring them to me, so I rarely (less than 5% of the time), back out of a deal due to the inspection.

Hey guys, I've been networking and trying to find people in my area that are currently investing in multi-family properties in Connecticut, preferably New London County.

But you certainly can get sued.I always make sure every piece of communication is in written form, preferably digital.

Then start small preferably in your own back yard ... and do something every day to further achieve your goal.
