I meet all requirements for loans. 25% down, money in the bank, stellar credit etc etc.

I mention this because your credit doesn't have to stellar to get a FHA loan. 

Primarily it takes attracting great tenants, having a professional leasing advisor who can properly market and screen for great tenants, a professional management company that does a stellar job at taking care of your tenants, and properly positioning your asking rent so that prospective tenants perceive your building as being a good value.

Their contacts with local lenders/brokers are stellar and that allows them to get access to financing/deals that others can only dream of. 

Advantages of this presumably would be you can go faster once you get everything set up but the disadvantages are I think two fold: #1 - you generally have to put all your eggs in one basket with one lender, you end up taking longer to disclose everything you need to a lender on the front end, and #2 - terms can be in my opinion a little less stellar compared to especially owner occupied long term fixed rates (ie: balloons are common, higher rates, etc)Different people will have different ideas of using leverage (amount of debt/equity ratio) but it really depends on the situation there. 

If you ran everything right, 20% is pretty stellar, even if it was more conservative and you got 15%, that can be pretty good.

They did provide everything including lenders title policy on the note. 12%..not bad..but no stellar. 

I was fortunate enough to get approved last year after making my MLB debut, I guess making myself seem more convincing.  

FOA advertises stellar rates on all of their programs, but the reality is that they underwrite like a bank and it will take 3-5 weeks to close the deal.
