For those finding this thread - I've started helping organize the Multifamily Investor Nation meetup (mentioned by @Henri Meli above).

This will accelerate your plans and you will meet those people organically instead of awkwardly calling up randos and trying to vet them that way.One of your four might lead to the other three.Check out meetup.com and the Bigger Pockets Events section.

I’ve dedicated this year to organizing our pursuits and finding ways to hand off small tasks to others by subbing out the work on the flips and hiring our first employee.

there are a few lenders in southern CA  HML ers that will do owner occ.however other parts of the story probably preclude it from any organized lender.maybe some private lender would take a shot at it.

In recent months I've grown a deep interest in real-estate rental properties, but I don't really know how I should go about doing this.

Also Im not convinced the prices will grown, in fact I think they will possibly fall.

Helping Hands for Housing is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides housing to homeless veterans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.The best way for our nonprofit organization to acquire homes where our Veterans can use their housing vouchers…..and how you can make some money and get huge tax credits.Obtaining the properties for HELPING HANDS FOR HOUSING is the most difficult part of our process, so I have outlined some plans to accelerate the acquisition of the homes.If you would be willing to participate:We find a discounted house, arrange for you to buy it at the low price, then at the same closing, you sell it to our nonprofit organizationYou will receive substantial tax credits—(both corporations and individuals are eligible)Helping Hands for Housing obtains the homes at discount ratesYou make money every monthHelping Hands for Housing makes money every monthMost importantly: our Veterans have a safe, affordable homeAs you know, if one has cash readily available, houses are easy to purchase at a steep discount.

The benefit of this is that it is actually easier to avoid commingling funds when everything is all organized and kept in a single account - the biggest problem investors juggling bank accounts face is pulling out the wrong credit card for a purchase.There is still flexibility within the SLLC, as you can still choose to separate a single "child" series out for a different tax filing.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

Can the statutory agent sign articles of organization and registration documents?
