How do investors handle real estate ownership with multiple mortgages?
I own a couple of fourplexes in Los Angeles. I want to purchase more (another this year while prices are slashed, maybe one more next year), but I know it affects my credit to have a lot of mortgages under my name. But I’m sure the banks who hold the mortgages won’t be ok with me just transferring them out of my name (and off of my credit report), especially now. How do small RE investors handle this problem? How do they get the mortgage liability off of their personal credit?

What to do if landlord is up to fraudulent behavior using the personal information of others?
I recently applied for an apartment for rent by private owner. I provided my personal information when filling out the rental application. I now feel the woman never had plans to rent the place, and is using an “apartment for rent” as a front to obtain the personal information of others to commit fraud.
It turns out, my co-worker happens to know this woman personally, and says she recently filed bankruptcy, does not own the property, and was renting it from a relative.
What should I do? If the above is true, she’ll deny we met. This woman has my social security number, personal information, and more. Is there any way to tell when someone pulls your credit to apply for an apartment? I don’t think those type of credit inquiries appear on credit reports.
What should I do to prevent fraudulent behavior? There are Michigan laws protecting landlords, what about those for tenants?
