@Christopher HeidrichRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Loans like this can be useful or very dangerous, depending on how you manage your business.The ideal situation for a loan like this is when you have a property that will take a while to get up and running. 

The OP could use it as a template and change it to 30 days and reference the correct county law, or no county at all.

One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married. 

Are you wanting to list your own properties or is it just to find deals?

Investors with sub-4% rates have a big advantage, while new investors need to adapt—whether through creative financing, value-add strategies, or finding better deals.

Robert Lane, best real estate agent so far I Know Keep or sell comes down to performance of the investment.

My credit was pulled twice (currently sitting at a 700+ according to Experian) but I don't know if this would affect my score or anything when it come to actually choosing a property and locking in a rate.

do you know how to read building plans or permits?

For me, what was talked about above is nowhere near close enough for me to judge or provide an opinion on someone as just because someone changes their name (we have done it several times for different entities) or someone could be co-gp or LP in a deal but not in the limelight) does not immediately set off my radar of "omg this person is not legit or a scam artist".
