Self employed is a costly endeavor.

I don't want to violate any of the self-promotion rules on this thread by specifically linking or name-dropping, but it's from a data analytics platform I am working on specifically built for tracking construction, debt, and ownership activity in the Philadelphia region.I will be posting more detailed insights soon.

Im not sure if I will hire them to establish the LLCs or do it my self, if I hire them or another company will be to establish one in KS and one in MO, then technically "copy and paste" the forms to establish the other LLCs.

However, if the FHA interest rate is lower, I would still go that route and if rates drop refinance  however keep in mind FHA has PMI for life  Here you go FHA has the self sustaining requirement that requires the three non owner occupied  units to cover the entire PITI which with 3.5% or 5% down is virtually impossible with today's interest rates and price level.

These policies have been to the detriment of small businesses, the self employed and to large extent  true GDP producers.

Down payment amount varies and more you put down the highre you will be in the queue of applicants, also down payment varies per your credit...Dodd Frank IS in play!!

Hopefully they will get caught and never steal peoples money againHi Sandy,I’m out $20K+ because of them, and as a self-employed single Mum of two teenaged girls, this is a huge blow.

Next question.... will you self-manage it, or turn it over to a professional management company, or some type of hybrid?
