@Travis Boyd Outside of instances where FHA or other extremely advantageous financing options exist I am a proponent of the LLC for investment real estate although the liability piece is overstated.

You do have to qualify and be accredited in most cases to join such clubs, but they do exist.

For example, some areas SFH may exist but the clientele that move into them have to be comfortable with the neighborhood dynamic.

You'll only be able to cash out a certain percentage of that existing equity.

By then they are usually dodging calls and would just as soon I forgot they existed. 

@Guenevere F.When I started in rental property investing, I found it crucial to set clear goals, leverage existing skills, and focus on scaling gradually.

While it's true that if the seller entered into a contract with a new buyer and wanted the same title company to provide escrow and title services that title company may want the release signed for their own internal audits, there would be no reason seller and new buyer couldn't just retain a different title company to handle the job.

There are so many gurus online pushing 0 down loans, and it simply does not exist if you have no experience, assets, or reserves.

My best piece of advice is to buy a house with an existing permit.

@Brett Jurgens  What is your current financing terms on the existing loan?
