I was wondering if anyone had any valuable input on what to ask a small credit union if I’m looking to take out a loan to buy a property....I don’t have an LLC, I do want to own property as a business, I have good credit ~780, I live in Columbus Ohio, I have two full time jobs; turnkey is ideal....

My current thought is to look for a small multi-family unit to get started; I'm looking around a cost that is around 60% of my net worth in full - but of course, I'd like to leverage a mortgage so the majority of my net worth can remain invested elsewhere (incl. other properties in the future).My current state (I'll add more as time goes on if folks are posting):* Just got pre-approved for a %5.25 loan from Quicken with 0 points...

The renting market is in an incredibly high demand in our area, but we are in a small town. 

@Alecia Bolton I work down on Edith depending on where the SFR is will depend on the area. if the SFR is in the Vista del Norte Neighborhood then it is in a nice area, that is a small pocket of nice houses in an industrial area. but once you pass Osuna going south on Edith you begin to see more homeless people and the houses are more run down.

Just wondering if this is a good sign for buying...Small town, tons of growth in the county....someone just built a 42 unit rent based on income smack dab in the middle of said small town. 

Everything happens for a reason I suppose and in the grand scheme of things this may end up being a small blip on the radar

accommodate a buyer's request for detailed rental and financial history, when selling only a small segment of your overall portfolio?

I'm going mainly with the 20ft containers because they're easier to move around but might consider 40 footers for the perimeter of the lot instead of a fence, and put lots of dividers and steel doors down the side for small units.

Don’t get me wrong, I like your idea, heck I’m interested if you find another deal or a small multi, but right now it seems far from a partnership and more of a one sided gamble.

@Tom Ott works for a turnkey company (Smartland) that primarily does single family / small (<5 unit) though they have done mid sized properties and are trying to evolve into a syndicator of even larger deals.Let the board know more about the property; how many units, what area of the city, etc and you should get some recommendations.Oren
