Any recommendations what you would do to make this a smooth process.

Thankfully things went smooth and my tenant seems like a good guy.

If this is your first purchase it would make sense to buy something stabilized and running smoothly. 

You are now a house flipper (By this time you should know some lenders and have access to capital)This way, there is still a gradual transition from being inexperienced to do it yourself and you have access to capital.

So we want to run as smooth (less communication) as possible. 

LLC's are great for tax shelters why you are building a portfolio, but generally you want to max out your conventional loans before you transition to non-conventional loans that would be for the LLC.   

I have a plan to build a six unit apartment complex for transitional housing.

I am making the transition from Resi to Commercial, and I'm very excited.

Also, in addition to the employment they usually like to see you transition to something like what you did while you were in.

Does anyone have any tips or advice while I go through this process of receiving my license and transitioning careers?
