Buying as a vacation rental could potentially qualify for a lower interest rate, but you’ll likely need to provide proof of personal use (even if minimal).

PM me and I'll send you their contact person or you can google them.

I am not an insurance agent, but I would be curious to hear from someone in the field who could explain how this would have played out differently had the properties been in an LLC and not a personal name.

For me, it could be closed in my personal name or an LLC.Hope that helps and good luck!

I personally RARELY use them.

I've found the people who want to charge for their time and "mentorship" typically need the money because they are struggling- maybe not the best person to take financial advice from. 

They don’t really spend any time teaching you how to raise capital or how HNW investors think.Also, they push the LP structure which doesn’t protect the GP who takes on personal liability (which we’ve heard from sources)Check out Capital School - a complete turnkey solution taught by someone that’s raised $2B with the help of others  

2) Are you getting the loan with your personal guarantee or is it non-recourse? 

None of which I never actually met in person. 

@Megan Boyle I personally love investing in RI.
