I think a community bank would be much more apt to put a deal together for you than a big national or regional bank like Huntington.

But, I also think the access to information today: all the books, these forums, conferences, gurus on social media...  

I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!

Price : $100,000,  4126 Laverne St, Oklahoma City, OK 73135, seems like good condition throughout.  3Bed/1Bath750sqftSchools are mostly 2/10Average rent for the zipcode is $950What do you guys think about this deal?

If you are trying to get a cash out refi, I would think the bank would want to see the correct type of insurance for the business you are running.

Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets, but I don't think that's necessary.

@Abigail Kingprimarily off market although, i've started to engage on on-market deals if i think they will fitvery difficult to find

I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project?

I think you should also confirm to them what lease renewal terms you are offering them so they can make an informed decision.If you make the repairs, you'll create some goodwill with the tenant and they will be more likely to renew.

Chicago is a lower appreciation market but with the trends we've been seeing with increased rates of hurricanes on the east coast and fires in the west, I do think long-term we will see some migration to the Midwest.
