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).

I have three properties in AR now, and as of about four months ago, two of them were vacant despite having two-year contracts on the properties.

This is a family property for which I will be paying 3/4 of the most recent assessment value.

I used to be in finance and they'd have scripts for interactions like that as newbies but I would say just try to be yourself.

Often times you will pay much more in taxes than if you pulled the money out, paid the taxes and penalty and then started investing in real estate.For example, with the financing you mentioned, the IRA must pay taxes on the portion of the profit earned by financing. 

Lenders and Financing• Can anyone recommend lenders in Destin who are familiar with VA loans and can work well with first-time buyers?

The seller has the most knowledge about any given property. 

It kind of depends on the type of properties you're looking for funding on.

Buy and hold used as short term rental property.
