I am meeting with a potential private lender this week.

Rob, wouldn't this potentially trigger the due on sale clause when you transfer to your LLC?

This is a great option for Rentals and or when presenting a property to potential investors.If it's for a home you are Selling or Reselling, professional photography is always the best choice.

Im also hoping to get a vacation home/STR in southern California in the next few years, as my GF and I frequent the area.Long term, im hoping to make the jump to multi-family, and potentially even into apartments.

I think newly built multi-families is something I would want to hold onto for future earning potential. 

Here is an analysis of potentially my first RE investment deal.

I've made a couple of posts over on the "Starting out" thread but I'm here looking for some input on a potential strategy that I've recently started working on. 

By scheduling routine inspections, landlords can identify potential maintenance issues before they escalate, ultimately saving time and money.

Risks and Protections: What are the potential risks associated with this loan?

Still looking for a property, but thanks for the advice to check the HOA for any potential restrictions.
