If you can't find this person search for the bank's Chief Credit Officer.  

Many clients will find it hard to trust a younger person with this big of a decision. 

@Jason Lopez You don’t need an LLC to rent out a house in San Antonio, TX, but it can provide liability protection by separating your personal assets from your rental property.

Would a HELOC or home equity loan on my personal home be a good idea to fund this?  

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

@Ryan WasherHey everyone, I'd be interested in attending an in-person or virtual meet up also.

I have arranged for Servpro to take a look at the property in person to give me a quote for this job.

I used $80k to pay off personal debts and $50k to remodel it by myself with my two hands.

@Shiloh Lundahl I think you are hitting the nail on the head: these different strategies reflect our different personalities and personal preferences. 

The person calling you is on a money grab. you do not need a wyoming trust.
