Looking for suggestions from people who have done this kind of stuff before

Some people have talked about a webinar. 

I would love to make some connections and get to know more people who could help me along the way!

Especially when you consider how many people transfer title from their names to their LLCs, trusts, etc.

Definitely a focus area from lenders, conventional or otherwise - theres been a reported uptick in occupancy fraud or funny business lately as rates and values have continued to be so high and qualifying so tough - people are more likely to bend the rules on stuff like this - so this is generally the lender response

As an investor myself, I am always happy to meet and talk to people who share my interests or to discuss real estate in general. 

People tend to think a cost seg is a cure all and just puts money in your pocket.

A jobless rate of 3% or below is widely considered "full employment" by economists, or the point at which most people who want a job have one

Because people skip this and jump right to techniques, we have a huge FAILURE rate of people wanting to be real estate “operators”.  

My advice is to stop listening to the people you overheard.
