Once I have a portfolio of rental property generating 15-20K/ income per month I intend to build a bbq restaurant chain.

I've had a long time focus on helping distressed property owners, which results in generating listings with excellent investor potential.

Fortunately, this means that an upgrade does not need to be a mansion or a dream home.Our current plan is to find a duplex or triplex with the potential to generate a little bit of cash flow in addition to acting as our home.  

Same goes for pets, guests, outdoor equipment, etc.

I'm a computer engineer and I just took a job as a realtor.I'm expected to generate and close leads.

Also do you think it's fair to deduct the cost of the builder's risk policy from the contractor's payment since it will cover all of his equipment as well?

Yep, different opinions generate diversity. 

The LLC can act just like a legal person - it can generate income, pay bills, and move money in and out of bank accounts.

Here what I need:-comps and an estimate of ARV -email alerts on new listing in my target market-cash buyers -buyers looking for fixer uppersWhat I offer: -refer FSBO leads that I don't buy to agent -finders fee paid after closing on a lead generated from mls email alerts -commission paid after close on house sold through agent listing -if house is sold to a rehabber will recommend agent to rehabber for use when ready to list.The way I see it this generates a good amount traffic for the agent.

A way for an investor to put their money out and generate a return.
