My name is Matt McCurry and I am starting my Real Estate Investment career now.

Even with crazy high rents, when you have to get into a property for 1mil, it's just hard for the returns to out pace the cost of capital, especially when you factor in all the other costs.The oddity with the last observation is that without capabilities these markets also tend to be the biggest challenge from an execution standpoint for someone just starting out. 

You can use tax records to look up the owner of a property and confirm that the person on the phone owns it (however they can lie about their name.)Its not to late to have a friend call and pretend to be a different landlord and ask these questions as well.

Also some won't offer the info you need, for example, the owner name. 2.

I live with my In-Laws and in the process of transfering the home into my name.

No notice of termination of tenancy served upon a tenant by a public housing authority organized under the Housing Authorities Law (§ 36-1 et seq.) of Title 36 shall be effective unless it contains on its first page, in type no smaller or less legible than that otherwise used in the body of the notice, the name, address and telephone number of the legal services program, if any, serving the jurisdiction wherein the premises are located.F.

I don’t have their phone numbers, just their names. 3 days ago I put a paper notice on their door stating ownership of the property has changed, they are late on their rent and please call this number to submit payment immediately.

The seller owns a property in an LLC but has a loan in their personal name.

You can transfer the properties from your name into an LLC.

I don't want to use his name publicly without his permission, so perhaps we can DM each other to confirm if that is the case.Anyways, all of the above comments are spot on, he should be benefiting from the deals but you should also do you own due diligence on everything too.As I mentioned, feel free to send me a message and we can connect that way if you would like.
