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.

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. 

The season of my life right now is to begin the journey toward that, and I am willing to sacrifice a little comfort to do that.
