Personally, I had one experience where my Lender wanted the LLC to be within the state where the property was being purchased.

A smooth finish is usually only requested if a homeowner is planning on wallpapering, but that's a whole other discussion.I personally like the modern types of texture, but I think it really depends on the other finishes in the home.

(and I don't mean on Zillow - I mean in person.)  

On a personal note, I enjoy the conversations I have with noteholders who reply to my marketing, and I enjoy being part of the secondary market which supports seller financing. 

., but the average person would just do it on their own. 

@Justin Reyes Let me ask you this...If you owned a marketable piece of real estate and no longer cared to own the property what would you rather do: (a) Sell the property, pay off your mortgage and move on to other opportunities; or(b) Sell the property without paying off the loan,  remain liable for the loan as the note signer and trust the buyer will continue to make payments on that loan, and if they don't your personal credit is damaged? 

But I don’t think you made your thinking visible to OP that buying in personal name to begin with is the basis for your comment.

Furthermore, the heat poses elevated wildfire risk, which could partly be why in two filings with the California State’s Department of Insurance on Thursday, State Farm disclosed it is seeking a 30% rate increase for homeowners, a 36% increase for condo owners and a 52% increase for renters.No matter what side of the political divide, in my near forty years on this planet I have personally noticed local and global warming.

I was thinking of purchasing small multifam 2-4 units with DSCR and using personal loans to cover the 20-25% DP.

I would personally encourage you to use debt if you are looking to wait 3 years to get started though.
