To whom this may concern, I am an investor looking to buy my second property.

nevermind. sorry

They often have access to off-market properties which gives you less competition.

The fear of renting while out of town is common, but it's easy to overcome, especially when you have friends and a handyman.

All these properties were bought sight unseen on their recommendations.

With comps ranging from $875K-$1M and your estimated build cost at $550K, the after-completion value gives you a significant equity cushion, making this project highly attractive to lenders.If you plan to hold and rent the property, you could refinance into a DSCR loan after construction, which bases lending on rental income rather than personal income.

You do not need a separate LLC for each property or a series LLC!

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?
