Talk to a mortgage broker or lender experienced with LLC-owned properties before transferring ownership.

We literally are wholesalers....our job is not to hold your hand.

There is also ease of management in having a handful of tradespeople that can deal with all my properties.

Imagine a welfare system that was centric to a hand UP. 

(The exception would be the rare deal where the property changes hand for a price far below real market value).The sub to or wrap adds a certain degree of ADDITIONAL risk of failure.  

(I am starting investor, please understand)So many guys are buying in second-hand market, when original can not cover their mortgage payment because of the depreciating rent, and let go of their property at great value.

Landlord-tenant regulations are a bit complex in California and getting hands on is the best way to learn before expanding into larger investments. 

There is a very big difference in my point of view hearing from someone who knows someone first hand vs. someone who just goes and does some internet research. 

I avoid cash as it is a safety risk to have large amounts on hand.

That stopped when I stopped using third-party cleaners, but I also started to only leave enough for the stay.I use a small Dawn hand dish liquid that I fill between guests and larger hand soap dispensers in the bath and kitchen that I fill between guests.
