Welcome to the deep end of the entity pool @Richard Sherman ! 

Hi Steven, the best hard money lender will meet the following:1. be willing to work with you (ie lend you the money)2. give you the best rate and terms3. require minimum paper work from you 4. minimum collateral5. they have deep pockets Once you find a good hard money lender, make sure you treat them right.

@Kermaury MusgroveCongrats on diving into real estate!

I will definitely take a deep dive.

And as I said in a previous post, you may have to go back multiple years to find new builds in the urban area and compare them to resales and see if you can estimate a value difference.There is no easy way to do this in that complex situation and many appraisers, IMO, are not skilled or educated enough to do that type of deep-dive analysis, and/or do not get paid enough (in the current appraisal climate) in order to take the proper time and use the proper tools to do what's required.

Like a comedian who goes too deep in to the joke  

Before diving into LLCs, HOAs, Insurance, and Home Prices.I'm not sure if you have been pre-approved but I would highly recommend that you speak with a local lender, I happen to know a few in the area.

To effectively evaluate the financial implications of renting versus house hacking, we'll dive deep into the numbers and walk you through how we calculated them.

For more info dive into Anderson Business Advisors and Clint Coons YouTube channels.

The risk here is that each property negative cash flows when rented, so you might be learning to dumpster dive for your food.
