I did some research first to see if they are even legitimate and what their reviews are like.

Will the title company put this property under our LLC name, and won’t be required to legally inform HUD/tax authorities. - will it influence property taxes once we move to conventional loan in 3 yrs? 

I personally use Hostfully and their support team is great!

Myself personally I'm invested in Buffalo and NYC, but that's because it made sense for *me*. 

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

A couple strategies that could make sense for a younger person without experience could be a live-in flip or a house hack.

As a beginner, I would personally get my feet wet with something a little less risky without a balloon payment like that.

I will reach out to you personally, please keep an eye out in your inbox.

Looks like you have done your research and are on the up path in getting your portfolio going. 

I’m not a “people person” so they handle screening.
