If a claim is filed and the property is owned through an LLC the individual members are less likely to be named in the complaint and that above all else keeps the members name out of the docket.

Especially on the Preferred thing, that does seem to work!

I prefer an assignment @William Causey as it keeps me off the chain of title and any issue(s) that go with being in the chain, as well as any additional expenses related to a doublel close.

Be sure to factor in management complexity, market research, and your risk tolerance as you evaluate options.Without a W-2, HELOC approval can be tricky, but some lenders will work with retired individuals, mainly if you can document stable income (rental income, retirement funds, etc.).

Personally, I'd prefer dollar-tree ones (if basic, uncluttered look) over none in the room (bedroom, whatever) because I want to encourage trash being put away.

Hopefully as the rates and the housing market loosens so will some of these guidelines in the HML programs. from talking to hard money funds especially those who operate in more than 10 states, and 5 years of experience with underwriting teams, I'd actually disagree and say new construction is preferred to rehab due to experience level to enter the market. there's BP lenders that will do 15% LTC with 1-2 new build experience.

LLC is a pass thru entity so it should reflect on your individual return

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am interested to talk to SDIRA custodians preferably local to the DFW Texas area to expand my investments in real estate.

So, you, as an individual, may not get to the same rate that a MASSIVE national builder can...but you can certainly offer credits to the buyers to help buy down the rates. 

I've heard mixed reviews on it but we don't prefer to deal with Section 8 here, it's an arduous process.
