Hello, I  am looking for a little help/advise and wondering before I get started in buying my first investment property is it a good idea to have a LLC created??

I believe, however, my landlords have no idea how much this house could be renting for.

Would love to hear your ideas and suggestions.

I'm afraid to offer a low price to the owner since they are not motivated and are happy with the incoming cash flow.Any ideas or tips on how to make a offer like this would be greatly appreciated. 

I'm new to real estate investing and I'm exploring the idea of using money that I have tied in a 401k retirement fund in exchange for an investment property.  

I'm looking to the group for creative ideas that I can use to attract preferred equity to recapitalize an existing portfolio.

Its always a good idea to talk to the building dept about what you want to do before you start.

The Nest thermostat is a great idea Joe.
