Have you asked the person who trained you for direction? 

Should the landlord on the lease be our LLC or our personal names?

I've done some with owner financing, I have taken personal loans, and I have paid cash for the property.

FWIW there's locations here in CA where you can (in person) get fake DL, SS card, I9 cert, smog cert etc.

It almost seems to good to be true to be able to get the same returns as a Certificate of Deposit.https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/best-high-yield-s...

Depending how much you earn you can step up those savings by getting a side-hustle in any part of real estate....working for a top Real Estate office on weeknights and weekends, working for an RE Investor, working for a General Contractor and learning a few skills, etc.

But, personally I wouldn't start the renovation until I'd had done a background check on the person who lost the property, to see if they have other assets they could sell to redeem the property or relatives who might help them out. 

We have some amazing opportunities with properties earning $100-$150K in this pricepoint.

I am not one of those.I do personal communications with all the guests and they have my cell so they can call or text.

I've used AI that uses Reditt for forum conservation and it's the best.BP has the most very insightful information and tips how to handle residential real estate and rentals, rather than using the old ways of using search engine, it would be excellente when there's AI feature where I can ask something like this "what shall I do when my rental experience this and that happened,etc,etc".... use the LLM that could give input where person that has more like, could have more accurate answer.
