@Charles Fabiano  We send out letters and spend 1600 in marketing per month.

Anyone have any thoughts on why/why not this would be a good or bad idea (besides the obvious "don't spend the cash").Johnny

Keep all the money you would spend setting up complicated business structures and put it in the bank.

Just spending my days and nights reading and listining to podcasts and getting educated.

Haven't bought, still debating on exactly what to buy and how much to spend on 1st deal.  

I think it's better to just keep properties together under one LLC if you are a small operation - even though there is always risk the amount you end up spending and time spent on overhead of keeping separate books, checking accounts, etc adds up fast.  

The next year I would speak to someone like Walt Kaminski, about buying tax certificates and find out where the highest yielding certs are, and I would spend 100K there.

You will soon be OBSESSED with viewing topic discussions and catch yourself listening to podcast while doing some household chores!
