Im also going to join some local groups, but would love the chance so sit informally over some coffee or lunch and really get down to the steak and eggs.

I reached out to his practice and they are willing to set up 3 entities for around $2400; a WY holding LLC, a NY real estate LLC, and a NY farm LLC for raising honey bees, chicken eggs, and nut trees on the addition acreage that home sits on. the question I have isA) the idea of the extra entities sound good, but does it offer better liability and asset protection?

Same cell number? 

I just sent you over my thoughts and my cell phone number - please text me if you have any questions since that is the fastest way to get my attention :)

Just to clarify, my first couple years my plan is to save all cashflow in order to have a nest egg for cap-ex, etc.

It's like selling the hen which lay golden egg. 

You are paying for a service, similar to your cell phone bill, are you throwing away $200 dollars as well a month on that?   

I know recession is around the corner but I figure if the numbers are right and I have a long term mindset, its a good time to get in still.I know it's a chicken/egg but you'll have much better luck if you have a deal or some leads. 

Now you can invest a smaller amount across a range of projects thanks to the advent of real estate crowdfunding.Now you can go online, research both developers and crowdfunding platforms, and invest in exactly the kind of real estate you want to buy, but instead of putting all your eggs in one basket,  you can invest a smaller amount in projects in diverse geographical locations, with different demographics, and operated by different professional development companies. 

We moved on then gave up after realizing the next, also highly recommended, 'CPA' hadn't claimed the company's cell phone costs, had counted returned monies as income as well as the petty cash (although compete with receipts).
