I am looking into more cost friendly options as I am paying for a registered agent service. 

You could look for a PML (friends or family and offer to pay them interest but lower than what the HELOC is). 

. - PRO TIP: many builders lose their license then create new company in name of wife or other relative/friend.2) Check Better Business Bureau, but don't assume all the complaints are legit. - If there area MANY, then that is a problem.

I am not sure the Tenant is so friendly, my property manager deals with them.If you have a PM, they should answer this question for you and handle the process.You should notify the PM and update your PM Agreement, W-9, banking information, etc.

Recently I had a conversation with a friend and real estate agent who wanted to purchase a home.At the time, they were looking for an agent to represent their family on the transaction.

absolutely... but be careful... be smart in what you invest in... trust me my friend https://www.biggerpockets.com/...take warning ... be smart... be vigilant

Hello BP Community,As is very common I have friends who purchase their rental houses under their own name in order to get lower interest rate loans with better terms and also cheaper landlord insurance, and then they transfer the title into their LLC after closing. 

We would love an air bnb there to visit family and friends though! 

And do not trust Charissa Napoles as an investor friendly realtor. 

Or if you have an investor friendly agent they can help identify properties that are in very good condition and link you to a property management company.
