@Atchut Neelam- thanks for the  good  question - most " mainstream "  or  " regular  "   lenders  will not  lend to a LLC  entity .....you will find  options  with the  non QR  and  hard  money  lenders 

It CAN also be very lucrative.stick with your w-2 work for a bit longer and save as much as you can seek out and find a producing real estate agent who can be your mentor in this process - join a good team to begin with...starting part-time as a RE agent is not easy or often recommended - but it CAN allow for that training and transition period...find a great lender who can actually tell you what various assistance programs are available to you.

We have this issue regularly since all our cabins are in the mountains. 

This is probably one of the dumbest pieces of advice I see here on BP regularly, and here in Illinois it also isn't even legal for those of us with a license since we have to disclose that we have an interest in the property.

My regular person is currently out of town. 

Anytime you buy property with a party in possession (PIP) you run a risk of a defense to the eviction being raised.I worked on on title claim where the PIP produced a lease which claimed he prepaid five years of rent to the former owner. 

In my area there are regular markets that will consider the Renovation Builders Risk but the Vacant policy normally is placed through the Excess (surplus lines) market.   

My client is purchasing as a rental income-producing property. 

These can be your own prospects, if your marketing is producing them, or from wholesalers and agents.The key to this business is the ability to recognize, structure, and enhance profitable deals.

Now that we are in long term rentals, I am asking for your input of any group/organization with regular meet-ups you feel have been beneficial to your own personal/business growth.
