Hire a loan servicer - plenty of discussion and recommendation on BP on this topic and some recommendations for servicing companies 

As far as financing what would be a good loan?  

I went from a 15 year loan to a 30 year loan, locked in my interest rate at 2.85%, pulled out $111K in equity, and lowed my monthly mortgage by $20 per month. 

We continue to see slight upticks in defaulted loans and loans in bankruptcy.

Often, I am not able to keep all of my ira funds invested in active loans so I would like to be able to keep the money that is not invested in loans in a liquid "money market" type of fund on a temporary basis.

Below, I outline several incidents that demonstrate the importance of vigilance in this industry.Incident 1: Noble Capital LoansNoble Capital Loans presented itself as a Georgia-based corporation with favorable loan terms.

closest I saw that happen ( nobody buying) was 08 to 2011.. when investor loans left the building ..

I plan to utilize some cash, margin loan, 401k loan, and a HELOC as a down payment.My first house hack (now an out of state investment) has a Zestimate of $530K, and I have $266K left on the loan.

Conventional loan.

They are a legit lender, we have bought loans from them.
