Is the conventional loan option comparable or better then FHA?

Wow, prices are so low compared to where I am from, for a duplex.I am in the process of getting my first duplex as well (closing is in 2 weeks).

@Kerri JunioYou need to do the analysis on the property.What a person owes on the mortgage has zero to do with the value of the property.You need to look at the comparative sales in the area.

It's why I emphasize getting that right before considering the other elements of the equation. 

Theoretically it is possible to find a market or condo complex where you can't cash flow, even with no debt, but that is probably rare.Generally, compared to other forms of residential real estate, condos are not a good investment.  

Is there a 'bankrate' type website for commercial loans I can compare rates? 

Also when comparing GRMs, remember that they are specific per property types, markets and even submarkets. 

I’d say 15-25 percent is a good amount to avoid overleverage  I don't get how you get more return with 20% down compared to more down with all of the interest payments you pay over the life of the mortgage.

It's far easier to get a mortgage as individuals compared to an LLC.

The quality of those letters doesn't compare to the ones you print yourself.
