Another issues is that even if we deed it to our personal names, do the refinance and then deed it back to the LLC, the lender can call the note due for transferring the title (that is uncommon, but possible.)Any suggestions would be great!

I think most property managers would be fine with this and it's probably not uncommon for the area.

The answer is no.It's amusing to me and other BP investors to read all the comments from realtors on the thread I started a few days ago that now has over 120 repliesREALTORS FIGHTING REALTORS OVER REALTOR REBATES and this thread as to why I have adopted this as my business model.In addition to all the very uncommon loan programs I offer as a FL Mortgage Broker, can you imagine me and a B of A loan officer. competing for the same borrower's business on a 500k purchase?

It's uncommon for a sale to take less than 10 days. 

So it is not uncommon. 

Every multifamily property 5 units and up will need a commercial loan, and there are several differences vs a residential mortgage:Larger down-payment required - there are programs that lend up to 80% in multifamily (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both do this), but with a loan size of less than $1,000,000, it's uncommon.

If this is an office building adjacent to a large hospital campus, even better, as it is very uncommon for hospitals to close down, so you will likely have strong long-term demand.Given the occupancy, you don't have any real upside beyond rent growth over time.  

I don't think it's uncommon to pay by check though.

What you're describing might be new to you but it's actually not uncommon, just need a lender that understands what you're trying to accomplish and an attorney to draft the transfer deeds correctly.You could try to seller finance, likely no mortgage in this case...  

well this is simple.first off in most West coast states there is no guarantee.. but you can get a pretty good idea.simply go to the county or city.Talk with planning  what you want to know is 1. zoning  is it zoned for a SFR and if so.. get the specs IE lot coverage  solar  earthquake etc.2. go to whatever department controls sewer and water  make sure there Is main lines and or no moritiums for hookups then while your at it get the hook up fees  most west coast big cities hook up fees cost more than homes in many parts of the US.. not uncommon for 35 to 100k just for hook up fees.3. close to the ocean do you need to deal with the coastal commission delightful agency those folks.5.
