I'd personally recommend @Andrew Freed.

It should be from someone who uses that person.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

If there is a due on sale clause in the loan doc then it doesn’t matter what the loan officer told you verbally.I’m not an attorney, but from my understanding of the loan is still in your name personally a good litigator can pierce the veil and your LLC protection wouldn’t amount to much.

Quote from @Daniel Windingstad: Quote from @Obed Calixte: Some people have the personality, processes and systems & time to self manage, some do not.

And what if the one person you didn't check has a criminal background, has collections, and more?

The vast majority of contractors won't want to give bids on properties while under contract unless they have a relationship with that person from prior jobs.

I also have personal W2 income, if that matters.Is there a loan out there for a set-up like this at 15% down?
