Here is a link that you can use to verify that your CPA is licensed within the state of Connecticuthttps://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lo...

I am by no means a master, but I’d be happy to answer any lender questions as an LO and sales questions as a former agent and share the lessons I’ve learned with my own investments—usually from mistakes lol. 

There is only one percentage that you should use as a rent credit when doing a LO...and that is,....0%.Don't give any rent credits,  You're asking for trouble.

A straight LO has one set of contracts.A SLO has two. 

There is a difference between a LO and lender that understands the guidelines, and those who don't (or have overlays on top of the actual guidelines). 

First, LO is a form of Seller Financing.Now, the option to do any form of seller financing is completely dependant on whether or not the seller has any debt on the property.  100% equity is the best. 

You should however have your taxes reviewed by an LO in the market you plan to purchase in so that LO can give you direction as to how your tax filing impacts your purchasing power.  

And if I as the consumer-facing LO was told that, and believed it, that means I've told it to consumers, and they will have believed it too.

1 - Sell the property2 - Take on a cash partner3 - Use Sandwich LO as a strategy4 - Use Seller Financing5 - Use Cash Partner at start and Cash Partner exchange6 - Use Cash Reserve with a Private or Business Loan7 - ... and many, many more

Hope that helps and I'll include the links for quick reference; https://better.com/https://apply.amerisave.com/lo...
