Hi Federico, it won't matter if it is owned by a person or LLC.

Personally, even with interest rate uncertainty and election year hysteria, I am building a stronger and stronger conviction around the fact that I need to get a little more aggressive in acquiring more income properties.   

I'd also try washing the cabinets and if they are wood, use rejuvenate.

And they can not buy a foreclosure for their personal benefit.As to your comment "I'm spending this week learning about foreclosure investing" the first thing to study is RCW 61.34.030 Criminal penalty.make sure you understand what that means.

like what most people don't get about the AI is that, currently, in 2024, the AI will become a sudden giant because there's world war three among data centre elephant and data modeler : microsoft vs google vs meta vs amazon, they are the one that's buying thousand of nvidia gpu with the hop one day that one small company or startup can replace the incumbent like google , pfizer All their purchase makes every single nvidia employee can buy a house in santa clara county easily lol. it would impact REI by a lot later on as employment and employability or group of persons would change.
