Best steps to take to secure my first rental property.

[Brian Salguero]

I am looking to refinance my dad's first home. We have a deal in mind that would be the best property to be our first rental. With the money in hand, I am confident the seller will sell the property to us. However, I am a little hesitate and what the best steps of action will be. Should I get the first house in my name? In the LLC's name? or Should I just contact a hard money lender and they will lead me down the right path? Any guidance would be appreciated!
