Big difference It’s like seeing an ad pop up on google that says Google sponsored ad - it doesn’t mean Google recommends them it means they are paying GoogleThe same holds true for self directed ira custodians and others who may have on their website some names “sponsors” - a sponsor isan organization that pays a fee in return for advertising.

However, you can mitigate this by using a trust or holding company to add a layer of privacy, where the LLC is not directly tied to your name.Attorney can help you better.

Purchase price: $500,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $725,000 Creative financing purchase, fix/flip with retail sale.

I would say im more than 50% booking from VRBO, 25% direct and 25% Airbnb.

Ultimately, structuring future purchases under the LLC can streamline tax reporting and potentially allow for more deductions and tax benefits if the LLC grows and qualifies as a separate business entity.The lender will not directly finance property in the LLC most of the time.

PS some buyers think if they come direct to us the builder owner we will discount the price by the amount that we have to pay another agent. 

If you want to acquire the property and have it deeded directly into the LLC, you are looking at either purchasing it with cash, a commercial loan, a DSCR loan, or hard money. 

I wouldn't trust this either.If you were interested, I would google them and call them direct.

Should I be in a different profession or learning directly from a mentor?

Regardless of direction, I’d like to build a relationship with a CPA to help with taxes and business set up in 2023.
