@Andrew Jessup I would suggest going into a land trust first that is owned by the LLC (not in California) and then that owned by your living trust. Assest and liability protection. Look at some YouTube videos by Anderson Business Advisors.

I am not an attorney, CPA, only a long-time investor.  Please check with your professionals.

@Paul Hurtubise especially family, it's not a law and you can do it yourself, but yes record a second deed of trust if you want money from them.

@Carson Vanderhoff I don't know where you live or are going to school, but you are only limited by what your mind is telling you.

Speaking like your dad would, finish college, get a 9-5 job to start and focus on what kind of real estate you want to do.  You can have a job and a real estate career as well.  Your job, once you start real estate, is to replace your 9-5 job as soon as possible if that makes you happy.

Money should not be an issue, if you know what you are doing.  Find a property that the seller is willing to finance for you, take a mortgage over subject to, find some investors willing to put the money up on a great deal.

I am confidant that you will figure it out.  Your dad is there to help with lots of knowledge, just ask him.  If not reach out.

@Windu C. this is an easy ask.  Rents are determined by condition and location.  Those in good condition are easily rented.  I have a local property manager for you that all my clients use.
