That works just fine for contract disputes, but it can be pierce pretty easily if there is negligence on the owners part.

I bought my first property at 21 and that was very impactful, you could easily beat me by several years!

Probably my biggest obstacles are that I am moderately risk-averse and am easily given to Analysis Paralysis.

You should be able to find someone in that area easily that does STR turns.

As a broker, you should know you can easily get 7% if your FICO is good on a DSCR loan with a 1 year pre-payment.

@J Shoe I will start by saying consult with a personal attorney and CPA (and have them work together.)Typically people buy in an LLC just to keep their name off the record and for asset protection and operation agreements.As a sole investor a lot of people will buy in their personal name so they can more easily obtain quality financing, and then move the asset into the LLC.A lot of people of California use trusts (DSTs) to hold the asset, so they are not contributing to the problem of over taxation in CA, as CA has a franchise filing fee of $800 every year for each LLC.Just some things to think about, but find the professionals that can tailor a system for you personally.Cheers
