Please note that I am not revealing any specific information that would make it possible for me to solicit any kind of deal.My wife and I own successful waterfront vacation rentals on the Gulf Coast in N.

My recommendation, try to figure out how to finance a property from the auction, AND line up a financing option in case you come across something from the MLS or FISBO.More options and hopefully that will translate to more chances of success. 

Hi Forum,I have a complicated tax situation and am looking for general guidance or a referral to a real estate accountant in California who can help answer.Facts:The property is a California residence appraised at $3M owned by the trusts of two now deceased great-grandparents, with execution of estate succession in progress.

I'm open for suggestions It seems like the more successful I become with rentals the harder it gets to buy them each time.

My two cents: You are better off sourcing a new deal, pitching that to investors, than selling past success. 

I would watch and learn from someone who is highly successful in that specific market.

I am trying to build good relationships with successful investors and what better way to bond than over something there is a shared passion for!

If there was an easy bullet like buying a list, everyone would be doing it and doing it successfully. 

My best friend's parents are the owners of a large and successful contracting company. 

As mentioned, unless you have a long successful track record the bank is going to require you to personally guarantee a loan to your LLC and it will very likely take into account your own personal financial situation.
