I would keep that contractor as busy as possible and then give the realtor the # to a less trusted contractor (not the worst one you know, I wouldn't want to sabotage his efforts). This way you get to keep your main guy and he gets the opportunity to succeed as well

@jake bobeck I like the way you express that.

You could put your properties into trusts to protect yourself from liabilities and not have a business name but if you form an llc it has to have a name. Also depends on the type of investing your doing.

Welcome to the site. I'm new here too but I have one property and looking to get more. The best advice I have been given is educate yourself.

@ *********** technically I don't have one under my belt quite yet. I have a house I inherited that need a ton of work I'm remodeling. It's taking awhile but on the bright side it gives me time to learn and wirgh my options.

Welcome to the site and thank you for your service. I'm new here too and believe education is key to success. I have one property in Chicago and look forward to getting more.

Hey Everyone,
My name is Gary. I'm 35 and new to this site. I actually ran across it researching a "guru" that ran an ad on the radio. Over the last couple of months I've attended a few of those seminars and have been reading books and articles about investing. I have always wanted to get into real estate investing but never knew where to start.
Over the summer I inherited a house that was in disrepair and a sum of cash. I decided now is the time. I have been doing all the work getting the house, 2 units, into rentable condition. I'm looking for fix and hold properties that will provide income but am also interested in fix and flip to provide capital. Recently I have been learning about the acquisition process. still trying to figure out which route will be the best for me.
I'm glad that this site is here. there seems to be a wealth of information. Thanks to everyone for contributing
