For the rentals I would purchase in your personal name (to get preferential lending terms) and then transfer title to an LLC at a later date.LLCs are simple to create so you don't need to plan this too far out in advance, IMO.

Carlos,When you change the title vesting on your investment property from owner/personal to LLC it is easy and quick. 

2) if you buy the identical house across the street and list it on Airbnb what’s the difference?

I'm also thinking of building 3 units just like this side by side plus an identical ADU so I can squeeze a 4th unit in if time permits.I have pocket doors between the kitchen and living room to the right.

In my area title companies are making changes due to the recent uptick in wire fraud and identity theft.

Based on my talk with a title agent, they said that as long as the NJ and US were served and included as defendants in the foreclosure proceedings, those inheritance/estate liens would be wiped out by the foreclosure process.

Otherwise you show the lease to your title company and have them credit you the stated deposit at closing. 

Title issues, seller issues, non-refundable deposits, no inspection period, lending issues, appraisal issues, liens, IRS liens, city liens, no wills, unpaid back taxes, solar liens, and all kinds of other crazy stuff.   

@Christian Weber, some lenders have no problem with this, yet many want the title to remain in your name.  

Any rec's on Title and Escrow in the Tijuana area?
