PadSplit has developed a platform that aligns incentives among residents, property owners, and communities to make affordable housing possible for the private market.

This would save time and ensure a fair, uniform process for all applicants.

That's some serious monthly savings.  

Also you can call your local Escrow  officer and ask who she/he see's doing private loans in your market.. 

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

And keep in mind private sellers and wholesalers dont help either when they wont entertain offers below ask either.

Depending on the market your looking to work in.one way I find is to simply call one of the major title companies and ask to talk to an escrow officer and then ask them what companies does he/she see closing private loans in their market..

I am interested in working for a REIT firm or a private investor who can show me the ropes of investing in residential, commercial, and/or multifamily real estate.

That may allow you to save for another property faster.

If that 1% saves you $7500-ish (or whatever the final costs are for the refi), then it may be a good idea.
