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. 

My name is Darian CaHill.

The biggest difference though is the messaging.You're not a wholesaler.

Hello,My name is Mike, I am in the Richmond VA area, and I just wanted to introduce myself. 

This is more difficult if you have full time employment.The court clerk who has to pull the file for you is going to need the decedents name and case number.San Francisco and Sacramento counties are the only two counties that I know of that have probate information online. 

GENERAL INFOThe property is:1) Out of state2) A single family buy and hold rental3) In good condition4) Occupied by a tenant5) My first investment propertyThe quotes are from:1) An insurance broker in my home state (CA) who typically uses Safeco2) An insurance broker in the property’s state (Ohio) who quoted Berkshire Hathaway Guard3) One of the big name insurance companies, located in the property’s state (Ohio)Any questions (replacement cost vs actual cash value, etc) I should be aware of and asking?

My biggest concern is not having enough of a safety net for that second purchase. 

The name dropped in that context wont be one riddled with overlays pertaining to rental income.

The owner of the property should be the named insured.
