@Corinna Lo You don't need or want an LLC for REI when you start out.

Especially if for you your LO needs to exit with them qualifying for a bnak mortgage. 

The LO   makes $100 on an small loan. 

Everyone in the wholesale space isn't capable of structuring sub to's, owner financing, or LO like we can so we definitely can stand out there. 

Lo and behold, I got contacted back.

@Joshua Zamora we've done some commercial loans with this group locally...not 100% if the lend in Clevelandhttps://www.helpbringer.com/lo...

A sub type in the LO scenario is buying subject to the existing financing.We have hords of cash in the bank,  make 6 figures from rentals, yet hear on out I'm only focusing on creative deals I put very little into the closing.

You could always pull from or take a lo a 401k or retirement account to jump start the equity> To you're point it is certainly possible to invest with little to no money down, we just bought a duplex in MA for $315,000 with a HML and put less than 10% down but we have experience in the market and it was a good deal.

I put that in quotes because M&T is still a $16 Billion dollar market-cap firm, and their "local" region is the NorthEast, but easier to work with, and the LO was able to make decisions at her level, and not have to conform to the corporate overlords.
