I am excited to be part of BP and look forward to growing and learning from experienced individuals.

If the dues are exorbitant or there isn't a clearly defined value being brought to owners, maybe pass on it, but I'd say by and large that STRA's are well worth what is usually a pretty small individual investment. 

I have the reserves to weather defaults and my team knows their portfolio level numbers, so it's just a matter of getting note investors and lenders on board.15 years payments and 50% LTV are the limits we're seeing for each individual method by the way.

Spending quality time with your kids and connecting with inspirational individuals are definitely enriching pursuits outside of real estate.

I have registered an LLC and incorporated business with contractor license.

The tradeoff on the joint financing is going to be the (refi) costs associated w any transfer of ownership, HOWEVER transferring title to the LLC is unlikely to trigger due on sale (b/c it sounds like most banks simply aren't monitoring and/or enforcing due on sale in these instances) which would make the ownership (sans the actual mortgage note) more easily transferable than exiting your position as an individual owner?

I also found Brad Sumrok's apartment investing program ($35K for you and your spouse or $25K individual) which is also based in Texas. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Did you have to incorporate a special tenant screening process?

Because of the weakness's each individual BRICS presents.
