From having multiple conversations with different providers I agree that it is more important who you align yourself with more than anything

Confirming what @Avi Garg said, after a conversation with both the Business Entity dept under the CA Secretary of State and the CA Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

Just based on real estate conversations I’ve had with just people in general, I think there are a lot of unhappy landlords so pursuing something off market through direct mail, or cold calling may be worth your time.

Once you get your list/market/niche/pitch dialed in you should put the same amount of money into this as your old marketing plan and that is when your conversion rate, free time, and profits will increase and costs go down. 

We're always open to guidance as we start the journey and welcome questions, conversations, and advice.

Or at least not optimizing your marketing.My conversion with these leads still supersedes the conversion of more generic leads by at least 2x... and I don't mean just conversion, but also price for the deals contracted with these leads.on the flip side to that, these leads are very limited in nature.

We just registered an LLC in the same state as our properties.As I understood from a conversation I had with a CPA this morning, UNDER the LLC structure, if the company has more than 1 partner, you can opt for Partnership LLC or S Corp.As an S Corp under the LLC, you can choose to declare whatever amount you want as self-employment tax, where as the Partnership LLC, requires all partners to pay full self-employment based on your shares of the company.

I'm looking forward to getting in some fun conversations here on BP and learning with you all.

I had a good conversation with one of my friends about where this need/dependency on teachers comes from and was wondering your thoughts?

We have had many candid conversations with successful investors such as yourself who have given us the same warning.
