(Heck, throw in marketing and management courses and you've got the functional parts of most business administration degrees.)It always drives me nuts when I see people spend thousands and thousands on expensive real estate 'courses' or 'mentors' when that money could have been spent a lot more productively learning some basic business principles at a local college.

If you decide to go with college rentals get co signers and decent security deposits, Dont forget the credit check and condition reports they are important.

the fact that the loan is in your name exposes you to the risk, i believe.however, getting a loan under LLC is impossible. noone will do it. they want the "security" of you backing up the loan.also comercial loans are crazy expensive (40% down with 8% APR or there about).having said that....we buy ours in our names then transfer to LLC via quit claim. whatever happens happens, i suppose..
