I own a boutique real estate brokerage and property management company.

(different loans have different seasoning periods for your funds and different guidelines on allowing gifted funds - something to consider) To determine closing costs you can call a local title company in your chosen area and ask them for their fee sheet and your lender should be able to provide you with any other fees associated with the loan.

Think of it this way, what can you offer that a giant company like Evolve or Turnkey can not? 

Employed with the same company for 7 years, makes 4.7 times the rent, has a credit score of 580, and a bankruptcy that is over 3 years old, shows 0 late payments since bankruptcy.

(I am 20 yrs old) Investing has always been an interest of mine and after a couple months of searching I got hired too an investment company.

In Akron/ Cleveland, title companies take care of everything.

Would you recommend hiring an independent adjuster to work with the insurance company?

I know LLCs can be used to invest in real estate, but I also read that someone created a leasing company to sublet the individuals personal real estate to the tenants with the actual owner having no liability since their leasing company LLC is the one responsible.This had me wondering how best to use an LLC, and I hope to hear from many of you to better understand how the LLC process works in the real estate world.

On a side note, I am a Project Manager / fire sprinkler system designer (for 20 years) for a fire sprinkler company in central Mass.
