I do have two really good mentors / coaches I work with that would be able to provide more input but they do charge for their time.

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: Yes, these charges are fair.

But it would give you time to save up for the 20% on a refinance in 2 years or give you the ability to use any equity gained to refinance in 2 years.

It is harder than doing it yourself but having capable awesome young ladies in this world hopefully will raise the bar for the lazy dudes. 

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I have seen REI Hub recommended on here, but I am unsure of their ability to work with local banks, so if anyone has any experience they can speak of that would be greatly appreciated.  

This will show you more evidence of the fees they really charge.

Wonder what they charge developers to access their capital resources.   

Whats making you think rates wont go down after a couple years given the new administration in charge?

@Greg ReeseMost small investors will benefit by having the LLC created in the state where the property is located at.Creating an LLC in a state like Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming may be better for the big players if items such as charging orders, business friendly case law, anonymity are important to you.However, be mindful that setting up LLC's in those states will add to your costs as you may have increased annual fees for annual LLC fees + registered agent fees.
