I am new to Bigger Pockets. 

As a cross-border investor, I'm likely going to need advice on entity structure to protect my liability while also not being double-taxed, I'm going to need to network with experienced investors/property managers/agents in the Cleveland area.

I would look at the DSCR loan as the first option.By the way, I suspect you are going to be disappointed by any refi appraisals   ADUs typically appraise poorly   JADUs can lower the property value Vs having the space as part of the primary unit.  

You came to the right place, Kwanza! 

If you are going to pull a HELOC I would target a BRRR or flip so you can for sure pay the HELOC back.

That likely means that they are not good with money management which you are likely expecting from him.To answer your question, if you are doing long-term rentals, the LLC taxed as a partnership is likely the go to route.Best of luck.  

If anyone knows a good go to in Temecula California.

You buy it and now go to look at your beachfront and see a dumpsite of shingles or tires, that will cost you more than the lot is worth to clear out and maybe have the EPA just waiting for someone like you to jump on with fines for the cleanup. 

Even if we provide you with an answer to this question, there may be other laws you are ignorant of.

A large percentage of these folks will apply elsewhere if that is clear in the listing. - Even with this caveat, some tenants will attempt to go to the property.
