You don't need a mortgage broker, just a reputable, competent direct lender that will ask the important questions upfront to properly screen your deal.

They'll probably also want to be sure that you are competent to operate the property afterward, because their reputation is tied up in who they do business with, and it's bad for everyone if the property becomes devalued.

I was new to the SFR investment world, and it was important to me to work with company with good reputation that can act quickly.

There's definitely a few things to note since you are residing in Europe, most of the investors we work with that live over there do put it in an entity but there are a few details for how that would work since you aren't necessarily local. 

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

I love the more detailed analysis but I'm overwhelmed. 

I would suggest shopping it around a little more until you find a lender that offers reasonable terms and has a positive reputation.

Asking for a friend who was told by his PM (reputable) to ignore it and that most investors don't bother to get their Grandview properties inspected/registered with the city. 

Yes, @Dave Van Horn is a great guy with an excellent track record and a stellar reputation.

We are an LLC, but I wanted to know what type of reputational hit this will be for us and if this would show on our credit in any way.
