It's kind of like asking "should I stab my leg with my pen or with a pair of scissors".

I don't have quite that much in my pockets right now, or I wouldn't need a second pair of pants to keep me warm out there. (40° for those who don't live here)I appreciate the reminder that the information is on Bigger Pockets.

. :)  If you would like to compare lenders or to have an extra pair of eyes helping you find your multi-family, let me know and I'll be happy to help! 

I think I see a pair of scissors and a directv logo so I have no idea what's going there. 

Most banks will only lend to me in my own name at the 5%, but that defeats the purpose of having the LLC in the first plae plus I would have to incur a pair of transfer taxes. 

@Noah Mencia It looks like they are pairing up 2nd home owners with a PM and guaranteeing a certain income.

After nearly six months of listening to the BiggerPockets podcast, reading as much as I could get my hands on, and analyzing a few deals every day, I just submitted my first offer on a pair of multi-family buildings in Phoenix.

You can cash out to buy 100 pairs of designer shoes if you wanted (but gosh please don’t).The HELOC qualification process is just like a mortgage.

I've done commercial PSAs where a client just wants another pair of eyes on the contract.
