Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?

It often takes new organizations similarly long times to get that sort of information.

Meaning, if you find something similar/somewhere else (in another market) closer to $300k, you'd be interested.

It does sound like we have similar interests (and design styles), so we would love to connect!

Now a "Foriegn National Mortgage" has similarities to those mortgage types but you will pay a higher interest rate and be required to have a higher downpayment as well (usually about 35% down). 

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

It is similar to survivorship bias, just in this case it is "listing bias".

I am in a pretty similar position. 

Eddie I'm in a similar position as you with the same questions. 

I have similar question- We own MMLLC (husband and wife) and would like to cash out refinance.
