@Dan N.These types of strategies is like building a conveyer belt between your home and your neighbors in order to borrow sugar from your neighbor instead of just walking there, knocking on the door and ask for sugar.Making these overly complex strategies for real estate really adds zero benefit and just costs you extra money in the long run.May I ask why you need such a complex structure ?

Although real estate seems to always increase in value there are times when it feels like a jagged knife.  

Quote from @Dustin Tucker: Hello,I have a client with an adult family home in Washington State, they are looking to do a cash out refinance.Here is the property info: $570,000 Appraised Value, $2829 Annual Insurance, $3,000 Market Rent, $4,200 Actual Rent, $5,175 Annual Taxes.Borrower has a 720 Fico, and owns 4 other properties, let me know if you can do this.Thanks I have a friend who specializes as a real estate agent for assisted living in Washington State.

Lending attorneys are not the same as real estate attorneys.

I'm an educator, a personal caocher and business advisor and since my kids has grown up 10 years ago I started doing real estae in Israel, where I live.A few years ago we went into some 3rd party investments in the USA, as part of an LLC group of investors- one in Manhattan and one in Atlanta.Based on the experince I have with those market (as well as Newtom MA, where I lived for 3 years) I lately decided to choose Milwaukee as my next market, focusing at the moment on single family houses.I'm looking into 3/2 single familiy houses to buy and will be happy to work with local agents and build a team.

In a tough market, it's easy to get distracted by all the shiny opportunities that come up.For example, to really focus on growing our real estate agent business, we made the difficult decision to stop buying investment properties this year.

I am brand new to real estate investing.  

There are at least 3 or 4 people who have courses on it so it is a real thing.It is closer to STR that LTR because they are always furnished and can easily be converted to STR if you have a gap in bookings.

If the real property is in CA, you're definitely doing business in CA.Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

I got a 25 units opportunity in PR.
