What we do different from anyone else we've been able to find, is actually provide complete transparency into the process from the purchase of the deal, the entire rehab including costs, renting out the property, and the refinance process (most of our deals are BRRRRS).

It's interesting what people will do in acts of desparation.In my experience, lenders (specifically private lenders) will do what they can to work with a borrower to avoid foreclosure, which is a costly endeavor for the lender and requires time to process, usually months and months, depending on your state.Also, while an LLC is often considered a safeguard to protect personal assets, a lender using an LLC for multiple loans may have a substantial value to their LLC, which could all be at risk.Finally, if the wrongful foreclosure suit is legitimate and based on an error by the lender themselves, an attorney could logically sue both the LLC and the individual.

Most people can agree it's a very slow process to build a portfolio, working to accumulate more units and reach financial freedom.

I concur with his process.
