Run it so that what you paid for it won't show up in records.

Track Record are experience are HUGE!  

Before I went and met with him I looked through the local mortgage records and found his name!  

@Connor Dunham Five years a lurker, that may be a new record ... ... and I thought my two years was a long. :-)Welcome aboard!  

Seems to me that, without experience and a track record, you'd be wise to put together sample investments and show them to your investors and say "This is the type of property we want to invest in" and "these are what we believe will be typical numbers."

Looked up tax record found assessed value and compared to surrounding areas.  

If you have a problem house, consider dropping a few sound recording devices to hear truly candid feedback (it is legal to the best of my knowledge).  5) In my markets, for the mid-range 3 bedroom properties are the sweet spot; 4+ bedrooms take LONGER to sell.6) If all else fails, consider staging it.  

I just closed on my first acquisition in which I took out a hard money loan.I recorded on the Beverly Hills purchase today and this is my first purchase from a wholesaler and first loan from a hard money lender.

My advice, is in the beginning purchase in your personal name as you will get the best financing terms and once you get close to running out of slots, then buying in the name of an LLC can help continue your growth and by then you have a good track record as well.Happy hunting,Eric

Often these records are available online these days.Lookup the property, and search for the taxpayers info in the database.
