I've heard good things, but not personally worked with them. 

Just my personal experience.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

Interview a number of tax attorneys and get personalized advice for your exact situation. 

Tampa’s my personal favorite (yeah, I’m biased), with strong growth, great tenant demand, and a balance of cash flow and appreciation.

You also have the option to close these DSCR loans in your LLC as opposed to your personal name.Our team finances just shy of 100 DSCR loans on a monthly basis.

We are a boutique firm in Chattanooga and every agent in our firm is personally involved in either real estate development, owns investment properties or flips homes. 

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

I'm based out of Raleigh and personally own rental properties in Fayetteville, Benson and Clayton and could offer some friendly advice and help out with your journey.
