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

If you do choose to invest remotely, go meet your team in person.

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.   

Is that a standard thing or just simply what one lender might offer?

I really would like to keep as much personal cash as I can at the moment because I am expecting some very big life changes this summer which will take a good chunk of my income.

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.

It's pretty standard for them to handle all of that since it's a big part of the job.
