It's a totally different industry where parts of RE are only a collateral aspect, just part of the financing issue.As to usury laws, I don't know CA, but they vary state to state.

@Todd Lee , it varies tremendously depending on what else is going on.

A borrower with a greater degree of having the ability to repay which poses a significantly lower risk of paying as agreed and 2.

What subject is/are your academic degree(s) in?

As far as demand from the tenant it varies.

$5M probably would be better in terms of coverage.Second, in terms of piercing the veil, it varies state by state, but some common factors are failing to adequately capitalize the LLC, commingling personal and LLC assets, failing to follow corporate formalities, etc.

Your second example ball parks it since equity and interest for a mortgage varies each month.

With REI varying so much due to location it is good to have someone experienced in our local climate.

You can do REI part time and you will regret no degree for the rest of your life.Don't obsess over the debt you have a long working career ahead to pay it off.

Thus, it is imperative that he/she has their hands in the business to a reasonable degree.
