Everything has been cash so far but I have contacted several local banks and all of them have said about 1-2%+ above regular mortgage rates, 3-5y ARM with 15-25y term, and 20-30% down.

The vast majority of "regular" or traditional (Conv/Govt) mortgages are originated by specialty lenders and brokers and are sold in the secondary market to provide yield on bank balance sheets (think Chase or BoA) or to be securitized into MBS.

I will also be tracking expenses related to repairs, maintenance, travel to and from NV, hotel stays, meals, gas, and other regular business costs.In the long term, I aim to purchase additional properties under the business name, but I understand I need to establish at least two years of income and credit history before doing so.The issue I’m encountering is that my accountant has not provided any guidance on how to structure this scenario.

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏

I had a conversation with a Probate/Estate lawyer and he suggested the following but what he said doesn't quite add up to what I have read so I want to see if I am just not understanding or if I am getting bad gouge.Advice was to create WY LLC that owns all properties, that is then "owned" by a land trust for additional anonymity, that the beneficiary is a regular Trust that owns everything else in my name.

The wire instructions I received were also different from the entity listed on the contract, but in my case, they explained that the funds needed to be sent directly to the contractors handling the rehab, which aligned with the project’s structure.I proceeded, and everything went smoothly, with clear communication and regular updates throughout the process.
