My personal goal is to build a rental protfolio, but I'm open to anything.Thanks in advance. 

It can come from a personal investor who will negotiate terms, or potentially a piece of the equity.

Personally, I used a business credit card to fund a BRRRR deal, securing over $90K in credit with just an LLC and a solid credit score.There are many creative financing strategies available, so don’t let capital be a barrier.

I would be very careful with a lot of course or guru in general right especially a price tag like that what I would always recommend reading the contract and see who is the person more in favor and if its not you then dont sign up very rare to see someone actually benefit from a course.

It will still be reported on your personal tax return.

I try not to let it get personal...there are some members that have been 'inappropriate' in the past, but I will still give them a vote if their post actually deserves it

The question is, what is the intention  of the owner, not what would a reasonable person think is the intention of the owner.

More like one person on the HOA is opposed.  

Moreover, the government has made it very clear that it wants to attract foreign investment and a measure like that would be totally counter-productive and downright dangerous and negative for the country and it's the economy.

I personally don't like exclusive by agreements.
