Brand new to this, looking to get my first deal out of state through creative finance or subject to.  

It was a brand new “A” location.  

Purchase price: $204,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This deal was an almost brand new construction in an up and coming area on the outskirts of Houston, TX.

if a brand new investor is working with a private money lender, it's almost like one party is taking advantage of the other (not saying it's intentional)

We have a few brand new construction projects in Florida.

For multifamily investments, using the LLC name is typically sufficient for legal and banking purposes, as advised by your CPA and banker.A DBA may be useful if you want a separate brand or manage multiple properties under different names, but it’s not required for most investors.

To put it into terms; I was asked to come a chair a agent training at a big-brand brokerage (KW) which was about REI.

I’m sorry I’m brand new to everything what actually is Fannie Mae?

If you plan on building a brand or having more rentals, than 100% but if only planning this one it isn't fully necessary. 

Either way, the properties that will float to the top are those with the most clicks and booking activity, (or the brand new listings).
