Just make sure to account for any additional operating expenses when projecting your cash flow.

Putting a property into an LLC before placing it in a trust is generally recommended because an LLC provides a stronger layer of asset protection against creditors and lawsuits compared to a trust alone, effectively isolating the property from personal liabilities while still allowing for estate planning benefits through the trust structure; essentially, the LLC acts as a shield to protect the asset within the trust from external claims.Consider getting professional advice on how to structure your assets to shield and protect the asset(s).

Yes it explicitly allowed things like the term and rate, and I wrote that it should exclude anything additional which is unnecessary since I couldn't be there to read the closing docs themselves (which I assume can vary depending on what the branch leader/loan officer wants for the nonconforming loan).  

I passed this additional charge onto our borrowers without any objections, making the total doc fee $1000.There are other companies that provide automated loan docs.

It took me 10 years and I had the benefit of starting when RE was cheap.A business has literally the opposite character: it's primary strength is cash flow.
