Are there any insurance companies that people would recommend for this investment strategy that do operate in the Austin, TX area?

There are very few sellers of notes right now, so who are you buying and selling too.You are going to be sadly dissappointed and realize after 3-6 months you probably wasted your money.Your best bet is to join some groups on FB or elsewhere and start to learn that way.Let me ask you this question: Have you spoken to any note investor out there to ask them about the environment today to actually get into notes? 

Non-profits and/or sober living operators may also be interested, depending on their needs.

Yes this is a Refi on a commercial property with additional large cash out included for sole purpose of reinvesting into another property, as well as a large operating line of credit in addition to the Refi is included.

@Tanya MaslachYou do not necessarily need to have an Ohio based entity to purchase and operate rentals in Ohio, HOWEVER, many lenders are beginning to require that either an entity based in the same state or a foreign entity is registered in that state in order to obtain a loan approval. 

We are going to be operating separately from the school.

Hi everyone, We are looking into a deal to purchase a 5 unit apartment building that currently operates as a short term rental.

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues. 

Establish an operating agreement for each LLC.

Additionally, I’ve been wondering if it might be possible to create an LLC, rent my house to the LLC through a formal contract, and then have the LLC operate the Airbnb.
