Each lender will be willing to provide a ballpark rate quote with some simple info such as FICO score, property type, location, term, and desired LTV.

Quote from @Iris Wu: @Steve Mitrano, Hi, Steve, do you mind providing an update on what you end of doing in this case?

I noticed that the previous owner let them pay half the security deposit and the other half later, which is a red flag.

The seller had a military contractor job with security clearance.

I just had tenants move out of my investment property (duplex) without paying for the last month's rent, and the damage they inflicted onto the property exceeds their security deposit amount.

They may offer less direct management and, depending on the location, could provide a solid return.Peer-to-Peer Lending or Crowdfunding: You could look into real estate crowdfunding platforms that let you invest in real estate projects without owning property.
