@Denise Madrid and @Chris Music , I forgot to mention this other property, which would be a better fit for your probably than the Richmond property I mentioned earlier..

Welcome to the Bay @Mohammad Foro , unfortunately I can't recommend a good aggressive tax acct here.. but @Greg Meech is basically on the money. In CA, you slap lawsuits on any entity you can, and see what sticks.. but the more barriers you create the better.

I am not a lawyer and cannot offer any professional advice. However, many people get loans in their own name. Later, when their circumstances change or otherwise, they "quit claim" or transfer the deed (ownership) to an LLC, so they no longer own it in their personal name. Just the loan is to their personal name. So the natural person (you) no longer owns the asset. Technically, not notifying/seeking approval of change in ownership makes the loan in technical default if they checked, but I haven't heard of people coming to a problem with this, because it seems like most banks don't want to rock the boat as long as you are making your payments.. Just what some people do..

@Kyle Zaylor , I met up with @Adam Hofmann personally too because he was the first one I met on BP who was ready to not just talk.. but start meeting up, executing on goals, get things shaking..

I can see already by your post on your progress Adam that you don't f*ck around! Glad to see it! And motivating me to step up the number of offers I send in on my buy and hold deals.. I haven't been as diligent as I should..

Would also like to talk to you Adam about partnering up to target some deals on my area, especially since you seem to have the resources on some IT/info/marketing aspects that I do not have in place for myself (and don't plan on anytime soon I don't think..)

Great to set the goal. Tag me or PM when you figure out the date!

No problem. Good luck Philip, and be sure to use those forums!

One more tip..

Buying FHA your first deal is a great way to leverage your capital, especially if you're flexible enough to buy a 4plex and live in one unit. They use most of the other unit income to qualify you..

Welcome again, and good luck!
