@Gloria Sheridan,You are correct, ETC has lots of negative feedback not only here on BP but also on the web if you just google the name.

I have a rehab analysis spreadsheet uploaded in my file place which includes a Repair Estimator & Rehab Calculator to help you estimate repair costs and analyze the Max Purchase Price you should offer for a rehab.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertso...There are other good spreadsheets in the fileplace, or BP has their own web-based calculators.

You will never factor out all risk and the web will only prepare you so much. 

If you don't need the monthly income, devote it to paying those loans down faster.I do also agree with others here that a fixed rate loan right now is the better option, as rates are likely to only increase after so many years of super low rates.

Web sites that you use to gather information and understand trends etc.  

Didnt think about chrome web browser

This particular bank has devoted several hours of their VP of Business Developments time. 

I'm seeing mixed reviews on the web so want to get input from fellow investors about good or bad experience they may have had with the company. 

He still doesn't seem to have a web site or online presence.

If he doesn't need the income now, I'd say go for a 15 year loan and devote all the cash flow to paying down the loans, one at a time (so minimums on loans 2-6 and everything left over from all those rent payments onto Loan 1, till 1 is paid off, then start focusing on Loan 2, etc.)
