If the cosigner/guarantor owns real estate for example, any unpaid judgement will become a lien on that property and raise the odds significantly for eventually getting paid.If the cosigner/guarantor doesn't have assets like real estate to go after all they are offering you is a promise and last I checked you can't cash a promise!

I am thinking that providing section 8 housing may be a more affordable and recession proof way to get started in real estate for rental income.

I’m excited to dive deeper into the multifamily real estate world and would love to connect with like-minded individuals.

with my agent, knowing the numbers, and finding the correct kind of distressed situation.

@Salvatore D'Agostino what does your real estate portfolio look like?

I did speak to a real estate attorney, and his recommendation was just have the property LLCs and operate out of them property wise/independently.   

I plan to focus on short-term rentals in a property that I’m house-hacking, and hopefully move on to multifamily properties from there.I purchased Brandon Turner’s books Rental Property Investing and Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down.

I currently live in Southern California but am looking to dip my toes into real estate investing via purchasing a rental investment property in Kansas City (I have roots there, visit fairly often, have real estate connections there, etc.).

I am new investor to the Detroit area and was just looking to connect with some experienced investors or agents in the area.

That said, should we put our real estate investment in my name or hers?
