That would be one way to keep your money protected 

@Michael Nguyen Starting with an LLC is a great move for asset protection and partnership clarity, but it can make securing loans a bit trickier, especially when you’re just starting out.

I’ve found a core group of people that I can trust, and I’ve learned how to evaluate the borrowers and good contracts to use to protect my money, and that's helped me immensely.

I’ve made a conscious effort in automating and digitizing more of my rental management tasks and can share some of the tools I've been exploring that might be helpful to others.I use Baselane a lot, it is a platform that's really geared towards landlords and real estate investors.

Any quack on the internet gives out ESA for a couple hundred bucks and landlords left and right are accepting animals they do not have to accept.As I said though, there are some ESA that are actually real, but still not protected and then it's a landlord decision.

Cash flow is used to protect your investment, not live off of.

Once things are stable again, then you can educate yourself and focus on how to improve your investments to protect you against this situation in the future.

That way, you can protect yourself from any potential scams or bad deals.

My question is since a lender is involved and I will be drafting up a contract how do I protect myself as to once I hand off the home he doesn't end up pushing me out (there is no sign of such and there is trust but this business)?

**Regarding TheGuarantors**: They are a reputable company that provides rental guarantees, offering you extra protection.
