I'll message you contact info for a local agent that can give you several options to consider.

@Alvaro Diego SequeiraLLC doesn't give you anonymity typically.They can easily lookup who owns an LLC.People who loses a property this way have have multiple opportunities to save or redeem their property.

BamX is a pretty good platform for agents to network with one another, brainstorm ideas, learn about sales & marketing, and much more.If you're on IG, check out @thebrokeagent and @nowbamI am also part of similar private platform for agents nationwide - happy to share more info on that if you're interested!

THe prospective tenant provides their driver's license and other info and you can give them a code (if you have a smart lock w/ Wifi) that they can use and you can change afterwards.

Also since the first purchase would be FHA (3.5%), I would still have money saved for the down payment on the next, probably in the range of around 50k, also could get a partner for the second, though since this will be my first two purchases, I'm leary about adding a partner already into the mix. 

Ok so that info is irrelevant but anyways...

If purchase price doesn't make sense in San Diego, rent there and save the money to invest in a market you know and works out on paper. 

Fast forward to the present, and unfortunately due to hard times, I've since lost almost all my life savings and am long-term unemployed.

His background screening thru avail.co didnt reveal any bad info.  

The cool thing is that you decide what to do with that "house-hack money" you get from renting out the spare bedrooms....you can put it into the principal, save it, or invest it somewhere else.To every young person and/or newbie  purchasing property, I ALWAYS recommend to house-hack because this will greatly increase your chances of scaling and buying additional properties.
