Just be prepared to jump through some hoops and talk to a lender who's worked with investors and LLCs before.

Loan amount is low enough but be prepared for higher rate and sometimes pay a flat fee for the loan.

Prepare the house and take photos2.

If not, prepare for devoting tons of time to it in the beginning but eventually you can get some great tenants and have all your maintenance/systems in place, you will be ok!

Prepare yourself with a specific list of questions to ask each, literally interview them.

@Jason BabosIf you have the capital for the down payment, and reserves set aside for the unknown, and willing to put in the work, then I don't see why you can't.Are you prepared from a business perspective is the more important question.

I would strongly encourage the SBA route where the down payment will be around 20% or possibly less if you are willing to pledge other collateral or as mentioned previously, include a portion of seller financing in the mix.Be prepared though since most SBA lenders will want some type of industry experience.

As I prepare to use an FHA loan for my first multifamily investment, I've become concerned about the extensive repairs that can accompany purchasing an older model.

Have him or her prepare your lease.

. ($675 preparation of deed) ($650 transfer tax) ($300 settlement fee) ($300 notary fee)Also in "Sellers Estimated Costs"  "brokers fee" is listed as "$4,000"   rather than 6% or $4,000 as if the 4k is just a flat rate.I feel this gives her no incentive to sell my property at the highest bidder.
