Both will do very well for years to come.That might be true but that doesn't mean they're moving to Cleveland or Detroit.

This is true for bonus depreciation items as well.  

Fees can certainly impact how the "true split" really looks at the end of the day.

Sounds weird, but true.

Stay true to the niche you’re currently focused on until you start to master it.

This stands true for any/every investment segment in existence; stocks, ETF's, business ventures.

Tell party #1 that you have others wanting it, which is true. 

I think you’d be better off getting a true appraisal.

Too good to be true is also a huge red flag.

This isn't true. there are lenders that do 80% cash out refinances - DSCR isn't the only loan type you can close in an LLC to get 80% cash out...and there are many lenders where investors can get 0% origination fees --- keyword here is "lenders", not brokers.
