•My California LLC serves as a holding company for my out-of-state LLCs that own the individual properties.This structure keeps things organized while ensuring compliance with both states’ regulations.As for your bonus question, it depends on how the property was purchased.

@Yixuan Du I would recommend going to local Real Estate Investor meet ups in your market to meet like minded individuals like yourself who have already done what you want to do.

I'm curious to know if anyone has enrolled in courses offered by individuals like Tom Cruz or Section8Karim.

@Marian Smith@Lena TruongI have bought notes from them and the individual who runs AHP is well respected.

There's so much content and so many individuals who push inexperienced investors to take action before they are financially ready while downplaying the risks, particularly those associated with  properties in lower tier neighborhoods.

Developing a strong network of individuals who care about bettering themselves, their family, their communities and especially helping out anyone who wants to make more of themselves.

Commercial PML will do the same, they'll have the credit and b.g. inquiry.You mean a true Private Individual with capital for lending? 

Private financing where an investor can get a loan from an individual rather than a conventional loan because you can get more leverage and have more room to negotiate

This guarantor, who may be an individual or another entity, will be responsible for the difference between what is owed to the lender to make them whole and what has been recovered.If the lender makes the loan to an individual (natural person), this person is implicitly the guarantor via the note, and no separate guarantee is needed.

If you are new, you want the teaching type.You can hire individual specialists in asset protection, legal documents, estate planning, and so on, but my belief is that it's better to get that in a training program focused on real estate investing by investors.
