I actually like to engage them so they feel comfortable about letting me know about any issues.   

Commercial lenders are very comfortable with LLCs.

Thought about doing that but that would be big risk and out of my comfort zone at this time.

It all comes down to picking a way you feel most comfortable with, that's where the education comes in. 

Hey guys,Does anyone have an “investor friendly” title company/attorney recommendation for the Houston/Harris county area.One that is familiar and comfortable with:Double escrowsAssignmentsWraps (sub2’s, Contract for Deed)Thanks, in advance!

I've done a good amount of work on family homes and Habitat for Humanity projects to know home repair basics.My goal is to get comfortable enough with the process and paperwork to buy a foreclosure with minimum overhead.

I know that a lot of people seem to get a level of comfort from a cosigner, but I don't.

Can't buy at $50a sqft and then rent for $1 a sqft.Maybe I could find a slum for 25k and rent it for $500, I just don't feel comfortable investing in an area like that, or dealing with a tenant like that.

That's just way too low for me to feel comfortable...even in an extremely cheap city.

Understanding the different strategies to mitigate your risk might be what he needs to feel comfortable about looking into it.
