But, today, most judges are requiring a GAL anyway.

I am a highly motivated individual, however, and I'm dedicated to getting into real estate investing.  

CORRECTION from above statement(s): Many Lenders will NOT require you to be a Personal Guarantor of a loan your partner gets.

I’m glad you were able to move on without signing, shows the agent understands/is a good guy/gal, or knows other firms wouldn’t require such a signature. 

I came across some critical information today that I think is important to share with you:In the aftermath of the LA fires, it has become evident that some homeowners’ insurance claims have been denied or disputed because the property title was held in a trust, but the insurance policy was under the individual homeowner’s name.This serves as a valuable reminder to review your insurance policies and ensure that the ownership structure on your property title matches the named insured on their policy.

If you don't meet that 12 month seasoning requirement and/or want to hold the property under an LLC, a debt service loan may be a better option.

Permit eligibility is based on region (usually the west side of town) and density (quantity of surrounding STR's in the area) as well as percentage of landscaping and minimum parking requirements. 

I'd say the skills that matter most is whatever skills are required to make it happen.

"Inflation expectations" is a purely rational and logical way to look at it, but let's consider that bond market buyers/sellers aren't 100% comprised of Vulcans, and that there are highly emotional and irrational individuals among them, as well. 

I'm excited to be joining this incredible group of individuals.
