Hi Enrique, as a realtor you have access to the MLS and Neighorhood Scout and AreaVibe if its available in you area can give you ratings on crime and schools.  

We recently relocated to Phoenix last summer and I'm starting to look for recommendations for local credit unions here in Phoenix which are trustworthy, low rates, personal touch, easy/simple to work with, etc. 

What is the interest rate on the mortgage? 

Raising your credit score will get you far better rates personally as well as with private lenders for your LLC. 

If it didn't mean trading 3-5% rates for today's rates, I'd refinance and have all these loans with my local credit union who doesn't sell them.

Sometimes using an LLC or similar setup can change how the income is taxed.

You are likely overpaying by $5,000.Broker fee of $3,000 and Processing Fees of $2,000 seem out of place...but then again, i never used a broker to get a loan so I am not sure about that.If the broker was able to get you an interest rate or loan product that you wouldn't be able to find on the open market...its high, but likely fair.if you are getting a loan product that you could have gotten by going to a normal bank...seems high and unnecessary. 

Since companies have a limited lifespan (10–18 years on average), cities must attract new businesses to maintain job opportunities.Factors Companies Consider:Low Operating Costs: States with lower property taxes and insurance costs.Low Crime Rates: High-crime cities deter businesses and tenants alike.Natural Disaster Risks: Avoid areas prone to disasters, as recovery can take years, impacting your rental income.City Size and InfrastructureFocus on cities with metro populations over 1 million.

Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

You will be able to get higher leverage, better rates, etc once you have more experience!
