If it's residential then your equity won't change until you pay down the mortgage and/or the property appreciates.

Recently moved to Florida and am setting up shop :)I'm looking for a Tampa (or Brandon) mortgage broker who really understands lease options.

Does anyone have any advice on how to find a mortgage loan originator in Missouri?

Has anyone ever worked with this mortgage company before?

How should I cast the net with my mortgage search among the different banks I have access too?

What if you rolled over your solo 401k into an IRA, took out a mortgage on the property under the LLC, and then put the funds into a new solo 401k?
