HI @Kaushik SarkarI would suggest going to the top of the page under LENDERS and then answering a few questions and from there you will be connected with 3-5 lenders and you can discuss whatever you want there. 

Many would suggest against RE investing using retirement money but if you go into low risk opportunities it can be a powerful diversification method.

Your debt is easily found, I suggest you disclose the loan. :)

When calling or visiting, are there any suggestions to get them to expedite this? 

@Joe Villeneuve @Theresa Harris, thanks a lot for taking the time and provide some info/ideas/suggestionsTo give you some color for these properties, there is a 15 years-plan that my wife and I are planning to have arround 5 to 7 properties in the same $$$ range (-+ $200K) that we can rent them around $1600-$1800I believe after 10 yrs, I am expecting to a better cash flow considering some loans will be paid in full, but maybe the next properties will have as you suggest 30 year-loan. 

The "purely code" stables, I wouldn't suggest.
