A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

Quote from @John Friendas Quote from @Patrick Roberts: If you are on the note or personally guarantee the debt, then it will affect the liability side of DTI, regardless of whether the lender reports the loan on your personal credit.

People like to rent from a person not a 'brand', it's more personal.

Across the remaining portfolio, I have a really good amount of equity which I can tap into based on opportunities but need to finish cleaning up my personal debt prior to going that route to get best rates etc.

I have two phones, one for business and one for personal.

If there is a due on sale clause in the loan doc then it doesn’t matter what the loan officer told you verbally.I’m not an attorney, but from my understanding of the loan is still in your name personally a good litigator can pierce the veil and your LLC protection wouldn’t amount to much.

The person you inherited the property from used it as a rental?
