They are all under my personal name.

The best part is there is no ownership seasoning period with one of these lenders and they don't report to personal credit.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.

We would want to use it for personal use probably one per year. 

Me having several thousand good reviews help, but personally I would not book a property with 0 reviews. 

You are going to send your wife to personally unclog that toilet.

If I understand correctly; the seller would receive 80% ($40,000) directly from the mortgagee at closing and would enter into a personal agreement with me for the 20% down payment ($10,000) in which he would be reimbursed separately from my mortgage payments at a separately agreed upon rate and term?

It also gives you multiple work surfaces so you can have more than one person in the kitchen without getting in each others' way.

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.

Overall I would personally consider how I can still grow with the freedom that I have focusing on my real estate.
