How does our loan quote look?
My wife and I are looking to invest in a multifamily building on the north side of Chicago. We'll go from renting, to being landlords in an owner-occupied 3 unit building. Our real estate agent recommended someone at Guaranteed Rate for the loan approval. We met with him today and found out that we can get a 5% down conventional loan which is nice, because we thought we would have to go FHA. It was a lot to take in and we're not sure how great the overall loan terms sound. We can probably do about $40,000 for a down payment, and could qualify for around $650k this was just an example they gave.
Loan Program Quote

- Owner's Title Insurance: $2,000
- Lender's Title Insurance: $1,500
- Transfer Taxes: $3,750
- Recording Fees: $168
- Total: $17,000 (according to the broker we'll get about $10,000 of that back in the first year)
Do we need a second opinion or do these numbers sound fair? Curious if anyone has any input.

That is a very good program and rate and all costs and fees look like they are in line and accurate. GRI is a very well respected lender and does a great job.
