had a terrible experience with a guy named ernie inzunza (works at Pancho's upholstery). anyways, i met a guy named glen who would eventually stay in one of my units (I live in cali) and help me transform my 4 unit complex. it had fallen out of escrow twice but finally sold at a price that i never thought id get. glen added about $60K worth of value for less than $15k. i paid him next to nothing and he was able to bring this property to life. $15k may seem like a fair price, but that's $15K for 5.5 months of working EVERY DAY (yes, that's how much work these units needed).

Hey everyone,I’m in the early stages of building my rental portfolio and I’m trying to get clarity on when it makes sense to open an LLC.I’ve heard mixed advice:Some people say to open an LLC before buying your first rental for liability protection.Others recommend waiting until you have multiple properties or more cash flow, since LLCs add cost, complexity, and can affect financing (especially with residential loans).For those of you who’ve already been down this road:Did you open an LLC for your first property, or wait?

They briefly mentioned they have put units on clearance and will pay closing costs.3) Any security or design features worth pushing for during negotiations?

They tend to rely on optimistic assumptions, thin margins with no room for error, or operational complexity that only makes sense if everything goes exactly as planned.
