He does not need income (he would be building his estate for future hiers) where as I would need the income in retirement.If we were to go the 'conventional route' of a 25% down loan, is there any type of partnership, JV, etc... that would allow just one of us (me) to do the personal guarantee?

Just picked up my third house in an all-cash deal, and I still have my personal loan LoC to use for something else.As long as the borrower has the requisite willpower, I think it's a good route to finance your REI dreams.Congratulations, Tony.

(Weird for a teenager,I know).Here are some questions I have as of now that I cant seem to find on my own:1.Most ,if not all hardmoney lenders only lend to corporations(llc),but banks wont.IF I went LLC route to finance a multifamily buy and hold.How do I refinance to get money to payoff hardmoney lender if banks wont lend to LLC?

@Girard NewkirkIf you go the route of hard money and Keep the property as a buy and hold......

I know you cant use the regular Post Office PO Box here in Michigan, but was curious about the UPS store as they do in other cities due to there being an actual person there to sign for your mail and giving an actual physical address.Thanks

I would like to attend a real estate investment meeting that is regularly scheduled.  

My parents are from and live in Norway, but visits regularly and I'd like for them to have their "own place" here.

Doing stuff on your own outside of a regular job and paycheck is scary for most people.
