The BiggerPockets community has excellent book recommendations, such as The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner.

Hi BiggerPockets community,excited to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about real estate investing.

If the client is in CA the community property state laws may help here (not entirely sure) depending on when the property was acquired but it would be a great question for an attorney as Jason mentioned.If they were married and went through a divorce it would be worth looking into how the divorce paperwork stated how that property would be handled.

Quote from @Hector Romero: Hello all, I am new to the community as well as being the lead in real estate investments.My sister and I currently hold 3 properties next to each other in Riverside County, California (we'd like to get them in an LLC but we're unsure how that may affect financing them).

Looking forward to learning and contributing to the community.

Thank you in advance to a great community!

Kind of reminds me of some of the golf course communities out here where if you bought a lot you had to pay the 100k transfer fee for the membership and 1k a month dues..

They have noted who they invested with and several of these sponsors used to be huge contributors to a BP and now have gone completely dark on their investors or but continue to pump out podcast episodes and speaking engagements… So my question is: is it that bad out there in the syndication space?

One of the larger ex-pat directed real estate investment communities here in Japan targets all-cash buyers. 

Hey Samuel, welcome to the BP community!
