In order to secure the property, we had to offer 10K over asking with the hope it wouldn't appraise.

Things to consider: daily internal operations, external branding and operations, lending, in addition to inside out *legal protection and outside in** legal protection, privacy/anonymity/identity protection and security...Prevention measures at different levels, preventing the attack from being initiated vs preventing the attack (lawsuit) being successful vs reducing the damage of a successful attack.... there are many elements and I see people pick one and argue about it without looking at the whole

@Dylan Robinson I've got buddies that used their VA loan to secure big beautiful plexes in DC.

I continue to pad my social security contributions full-time with the hopes of maximizing my retirement benefits.

I have a MTR near Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, and I found it was a bit tougher than I expected to secure tenants.

Was is secured by the property? 

Heard the owner was interested in selling so I proactively reached out and secured the sale How did you finance this deal?

But IF the property in question is in compliance with all code, and provides a safe and secure environment, all problems are timely addressed and corrected, and the property is maintained on a professional level, then the investor who has a large capital investment in the property should be entitled to enforce any contracts providing him with the agreed to cash flow. 

If you want another layer of protection get an umbrella policy.You don't want to trigger the due on sale clause for a likely low interest mortgage.Also if you aren't operating your LLC 100% you likely only have a false sense of security. 

Hi All,I recently secured my second rental property using a HELOC and now I'm thinking about my next purchase.
