Quit acting like you're helping BP, you're trying to get BP "back on track".

When I was trying to determine demand for our area, I selected about 20 listings near the location I was focused on, and tracked them for several months.

To do this I found you need (1) local type lender that keeps notes in their portfolio, (2) good credit and track record, and (3) leverage at 50% or less.  

Even as a seller focused or listing broker, providing investors with live mortgage rates, programs and accurate resources has proven essential to maximizing transactional incentive and client conversion throughout the years..Although I've never actually executed dual duties on any single transactions (and don't think most investors want to entrust that responsibility to a individual party - nor would I want it!)

HI Sven, I think that you're on the right track to starting your real estate journey.

You’ve made a great point about checking the borrower’s track record on completed projects.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

Not sure how they'd actually track that type of activity though regardless.

I can’t keep track of the number of  people I come across on bigger pockets who feel the need to create entity structures more complexed than my former employer that owned a hotel portfolio valued over a billion dollars. 

This can also make it easier to manage and keep track of each loan.- **Cons**: You'll have to deal with multiple loan applications, closing costs, and monthly payments, which can be more complicated and expensive.### Option 2: Portfolio Loan- **Pros**: A portfolio loan allows you to use multiple properties as collateral for a single loan.
