Chris, I haven’t used First United for a duplex, but do have experience working with them on traditional mortgages and to be honest I’m not surprised they got their info wrong, their knowledge and customer service isn’t the best (and their website isn’t user friendly at all) I would definitely talk to other banks.

Thank God our new tenants weren't home, but they are, not surprisingly, scarred ****less.We let them out of their lease and I think they are going to move to another house of ours.

Most first time buyers are surprised to learn that banks won't usually lend to a LLC/S-Corp/etc with no history. 

I do find it surprising that they didn’t respond about rent payments being on time.

You're going to be pleasantly surprised at how easy this is going to be as long as you don't try to stain the floor after you sand it.

You'll be surprised by what comes out from that conversation.

@Eugene Rogachevsky, This doesn't surprise. 

If more bridges of FL fall, that will not surprise us at all because the management system doesn’t work at all.Thanks to share your thought.Huiping

I was just very surprised on how low the prices were compared to nearby DC.

Having grown up in Austin my whole life, I have seen it grow exponentially over the years, so it is no surprise it is one of the hottest spots for real estate investors from across the country!
