These were intended to be wall tiles and are thicker than regular floor tiles.

Follow up on each contact on a regular schedule of at least 1x per month until they sell or tell you to get lost.Don't be opposed to hiring help.

We eventually plan to move the properties into an LLC (or multiple LLC's), but in the meantime, are looking for a way to anonymize our interactions with tenants.Our short term concern is that tenants know our full names, phone numbers, addresses, etc.

It just takes more personal discipline to not spend the build up of cash and put it toward your home loan regularly - once a year or whatever works for you.Mortgage acceleration really depends on you having a surplus at the end of the month or pay period which can either accumulate in a line of credit or some other account you choose.If that's not where you're at, you may want to devote your efforts to a "debt snowball" first to pay down your unsecured debts first (3 to 5 years or more, depending), then go with the mortgage acceleration.Hope this helps ...

You have to determine if that's what you're going for.This is it...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stile-Anderson-22-in-In...IF you are looking for something less modern, I would go with a regular home Decoration one from home depot, something that isn't brown but rather darker in color or gray. 

If this were to happen in a regular business, would you let it fly?  

And when finding them, and working with them for rehabs, can you share what kind of agreements you make with them to compensate for their work when helping with the acquisition of properties found outside the MLS, considering that they will take advantage of regular realtor's compensation when the property is sold?

The other option, of course, is a regular brokerage account in the LLCs name (no margin account) but we have seen issues with this (as has been noted in the prior posts) and 1099 reporting and withholding done by the brokers.As to what EIN to use, first, use the LLC EIN where possible.

regular inspections while a tenant is living in a property will help reveal this type of issue.. but I'd still double check attic , downspouts and roof venting.you don't want a repeat. 

I look at all those I interact with in this business and their is one theme .. most if not all are charismatic , pretty good sales men and women and or pretty educated and smart..
