If the cosigner/guarantor owns real estate for example, any unpaid judgement will become a lien on that property and raise the odds significantly for eventually getting paid.If the cosigner/guarantor doesn't have assets like real estate to go after all they are offering you is a promise and last I checked you can't cash a promise!

Social media is filled with 'passive income real estate' but it takes a lot of work to acquire, qualify for loans, and manage property. 

---Real estate is always location, location, location!

I’m excited to dive deeper into the multifamily real estate world and would love to connect with like-minded individuals.

Not sure what state you intend to get licensed in to start, but before you get too far along I would check with the Real Estate Commission to confirm that your end-game (AI decisions only, no human broker in the loop) will pass their muster.

I did speak to a real estate attorney, and his recommendation was just have the property LLCs and operate out of them property wise/independently.   

That said, should we put our real estate investment in my name or hers?

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

@Thomas TrotterIf you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networkingYou can meet local investors by registering to attend real estate events in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenin..Good luck .

@Leo CuomoRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
