I strongly recommend you write up an eye-catching pro forma on what you intend to do.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Any insight, guidance, legislative references, or even lender recommendations would be very much appreciated.Thanks!

Does anyone have recommendations or good experience with a company that handles this?

Would love any and all recommendations.

I recommend reading the following article all the way through to the case studies to decide whether an Umbrella or an LLC will give you the protection you're seeking:  https://www.apartments.com/ren...Hope this helps...

@Mohit AroraLet’s also look at realityTenant doesn’t move in and then you have to “evict” a tenant not there and lose rent and try and collect something that doesn’t existLet them out of the lease, potentially keep the deposit and move onThis is why I also recommend a property manager - they typically will save you in the long run

We're eager to get it rented out as soon as possible and would appreciate any recommendations for reputable property management companies in the area.Thank you in advance for your help!

I'd recommend talking to a mortgage broker who is licensed in your state. 

Does anyone recommend books, courses, or anything to help me learn the general terms and what it takes to become a private lender/broker?
