@Adrian Lammersdorf-SciollWhy does everyone want to chase strangers – and ignore their own personal network?

I want to make sure I’m as prepared as possible before diving in.Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences you can share!

Most DSCR lenders actually prefer you to own the property in an LLC, although some do allow you to close in a personal name.

I do not know how they are handling new customers verse the Midland existing customers.Regarding the customer service it seems the people I dealt with are still employed and only my "personal rep" as it were, was promoted and another took her place.

While an LLC can offer liability protection and tax benefits, it’s not essential for a single property—personal liability insurance and an umbrella policy may suffice for now.

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I will actually be up in NYC in April so we could also connect in person before you come down.
