It's easy for me to get lost in the grind or to focus on goals instead of progress so I'm glad that I took this moment to remember where it all started and that was with a gamble on this one property that has paid off ever since.

You may have to do one as part of the loan process and I wouldn't want you to end up paying for 2 appraisals if the lender doesn't take the one you ordered on your own.

My personal opinion: he's not the only one "doing it right" but he's definitely on the very short list of those that are.Just my .02note: I don't participate in his deals.

It's debt you'd still have to pay back, but at least you will not touch one of those two amazing interest rates. 

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: A few things there, Brendan.First, an LLC with you as a member and your (wife, son, pal, etc.) partner as a 1% member will file a Form 1065 which is about one tenth as likely to be audited by the IRS as a Form 1040 with a Schedule E rental activity (which I presume you will attempt to show is an active business).Second, you want an LLC because when your local Alabama handyman drives his girlfriend's uninsured truck into a van load of U of A medical school interns on I-22 when he goes  to get some shingles for your roof, on your business, you don't lose everything you have or ever will have to an uninsured claim. 

One thing I wish I knew starting out was the true overhead of running a RE business it can be pricey if you don't run your numbers right.

I’m sharing my story so everyone can be aware and hopefully avoid the same experience.I received a call from one of my ads that targets probate clients.

One thing to be mindful of is the cash flow of the property as you get into higher LTVs.

Going to try out PayRange, the Shine Pay is slightly more expensive and the one quote about the 20 units appears to be from shinepay as it is the only qoute they ever made... not sure which is better but both look like good options
