Maximum 10 total properties (not 10 financed properties like fannie/freddie 1-4 unit properties, so even if the properties are free and clear it counts against this 10 "properties," whether there is debt/liens against them or not)You can use 1 year tax returns for self employment and 1 year tax returns for rental property income calculations as well which is huge for BP folks since most of us are rental property investors and self employed/S-corp/schedule C personal tax returns@Matthew Kwan @Carlos Valencia @Joe Homs

If a person cannot afford to make their taxes and insurance payments on a monthly schedule, how would they have the personal discipline to set it aside for yearly lump payments? 

They forged documents, have the assessor for king county as one of their CEOs (my property was in Clark county WA but my property title was changed in King county WA where he WAS the assessor) hsbc had to pay me and countless others for bad foreclosure practices and that caused them to go bankrupt and my loan was floating and I essentially owned home free and clear due to terms of the contract stating that if loan was to be sold that hsbc my husband and I and the new proposed lender had to all meet in person and sign new paperwork permitting the transfer of the loan which never happened.

I answered and the person told me they work for private investors.

The property is in pinellas county (clearwater)   The folks above are correct that you can check out the county recorder's office / public records, which may entail having to go down there in person during gov't work hours.You can also ask your realtor or loan officer, who may be more available, and can send it to you via email. 

To me that's for retail customers.

I believe we have covered most of the needs in this post, but I was becoming unsure about an LLC.From a multi-person investment point of view, is an LLC still the best way to go?

Weather that's for swapping numbers to meeting in person for coffee.

We spoke with a lawyer who advised forming an LLC to purchase the home to protect our personal assets.

Unfortunately due to personal reasons, I was not able to attend the event.
