Unfortunately, a can of worms was opened when things were taken further then what the township originally wanted.

It is not really true because to get the same rate it will cost much more in upfront costs in either origination or discount fees, AND much higher back end fees in pre-payment penalties.

Nobody has a crystal ball and knows what the future holds, but if you want to introduce a partner/sell ownership interest its far easier if the property was originally owned as an LLC rather than in your personal name because selling membership interest in an LLC is far simpler than re-titling real estate.

Not sure about the context here... a W-2 and 6 rentals might seem steep... but were there a bunch of hair on your rentals?

It's very easy for those "prying eyes" to see your transfer from the original title to the LLC (in California?)

I am originally from CA and am now in Texas, but I have a handful of properties and am a licensed Realtor, so I'd love to connect and help you out!

For BRRRRs, seasoning requirement would be a big hurdle as conventional generally has a 12 months seasoning now.If you're focused on building relationships, the best would be to find a reputable and reviewed lender/broker and talk to the account executives/originator.

I would also shop with a local mortgage broker as currently United Wholesale Mortgage is running a 125 bps special on Government refinances through the end of September meaning if you did go FHA streamline then you should be getting a rate of around 5% (borrower paid)4) If you havent asked, at 700K+ loan tell your lender you want to go Borrower Paid and you expect them to only charge a 1% origination charge fee.
