@Takarra Fowler If you're looking for in person meet ups. 

FYI - not legal advice.If it's not a formal assumption and it's a straight sub-to, typically the seller remain personally liable for the debt if the investor defaults.Essentially, what can the investor do better than the seller after refinancing the property? 

Is this really the person with qualifications to provide a review? 

However, because I am unable to make trips to scout locations or look at homes in person.

Personally, I would never open a Series LLC in the State of Illinois.

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

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will sue the LLC, not you personally.

If directly to the seller, then you need to ensure that the payment is made, but also that it is made to the person who is entitled to it.

None of which I never actually met in person. 

The factors to consider are your overall objectives, your credit score, DTI and personal financial condition I recommend you find a broker or originator whom you can trust and have them weigh your options.
