I know with my credit history I can get a great rate, but in order to do that I would need to have the property deeded to me.My question: In order to get the best rate should I have the deed contain only my name as the sole owner in order to get the best financing?

Hello all,I'm looking for areas of Fort Worth to invest in buy-and-hold properties, but there is a tremendous amount of competition and I have lost out on several properties with multi-offer situations despite having perfect credit and financing in place.  

Great cash flow and good have good credit.  

Made me more prepared and I also learned the business which can save you a whole lot of time and money.

I know there are ways without having to put a lot of money on a down payment but my credit isn't where I want it to be and I'm barely getting by on my job.

@Ashley Cast, basically, if the money's not coming from your account, you NEED to know "other people" who DO have the necessary money, and are prepared to go into some sort of business DEAL with you.

yeah i agree with stephen l, you don't need a lawyer to file for LLC here in the red stick, i had to send $100 filing fee to have paperwork registered with sec of state web address to file online is sos.la.gov just type it just like that, i also had my bank file for my EIN when i applied for a line of credit application just have to talk to your local bank that you deal with real nice and they will work with you, the 1 i deal with is capital 1!

Would need to understand credit score, loan to value, loan size and cash flow of the property.

In a very competitive market, I have to be prepared to put 3% to 5% EM down.

Even if there is a personal guarantee on the duplex it shouldn't show up on your credit report.
