Do not compromise when it comes to establishing high enough credit score requirements.

@Daniel Walkowiak, if the (not-yet-established) "owner" won't settle for less than owed, how is it that you're even talking about a "short sale"? 

One company owns everything and does nothing (this is your SLLC a/k/a “asset holding company”) and a completely separate company handles all of your operations (this is a traditional LLC a/k/a “operating company”) For the operating company which serves as your face to the world and through which you do all your business, you establish a Traditional LLC to carry out the operations of your investments.

Particularly in Palm Springs, you can see the checkerboard pattern of the way the reservations were established.

But, if you can fly out just a couple times to establish your team that you fully trust, then you won't have to make the trip very often.

Here's why:"An LLC for real estate is an established legal entity that allows investors to purchase and own real estate in such a way that protects them from personal liability.

So the more established your accounts (meaning, the older they are) the better they seem to your score because they can see you are responsible with that account. 

If you want to establish an LLC, it would be for legal liability protection only, because the IRS does not consider the LLC status for it's purposes.

One company owns everything and does nothing (this is your SLLC a/k/a “asset holding company”) and a completely separate company handles all of your operations (this is a traditional LLC a/k/a “operating company”) For the operating company which serves as your face to the world and through which you do all your business, you establish a Traditional LLC to carry out the operations of your investments.

I pour money into my two attorneys structuring deals and even to this day, I walk away from funding models that are not well established and vetted with case law.
