It has me questioning how I should approach my property.

@Mariah Monson we respectfully advise the opposite approach of @Kevin Sobilo. 

Thanks for sharing your approach. 

A common approach is to take the title personally for the mortgage and then transfer it back to the LLC post-closing. 

And that long term approach is how I see real estate benefiting the average person.To your point of not benefiting STR I slightly disagree, while this doesn't directly change STR rules I think it allows a potential for more STRs, again, if you're willing to make some sacrifices. 

i have the current rent rolls & yearly expense report so far. however, i would assume they will require much more. as i have never approached a hard money lender, i would appreciate any advice given. im in texas by the way. thank you

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

If you master all that, you know exactly where you are, what your strengths and weaknesses are and then if you still feel like you need coaching, reach out to them and go for it.But don't get impressed with  "being approached by reality TV, and written 2 books being a master landlord, and being awesome at whoelsaling and.. and,. and.,."

Don’t be scared to reach out, I’d be approaching 2 decades invested in western Canada and am happy to chat.

If resale is your focus, think about the future desirability of the area and whether you can add value that will be recognized by future buyers.Bay Area investing is tough, but it can be rewarding if approached with the right strategy and mindset.
