Keep personal and business finances separate.

Get your finances in order.

The residential brokerage industry is in transition right now; after numerous attempts the last 15 years by well financed - venture capital backed companies that attempted to "disrupt' the industry (ibuyers, Zillow, buyer's only agents, public access to MLS, flat fee MLS, discount brokers), we are still at basically the same place we were in 1975, i.e., 6% commission paid by seller.So, the next step is compliance with the settlement agreed; no offer on MLS of seller agent sharing points with buyer's agent.  

Since it is more than one year I own the house I was thinking to do cash out financing on 2 rentals...they both are worth around 125k and get 1500 rent.I went to lot of banks and everyone is quoting about 4000 dollar closing costs for each house for cash out financing.

Financed $120k (80% LTV) at 8.5%, 30 year with no secured loan (not a heloc).  

If you don't have experience, you'll have a hard time getting financing on something like this as your first property because lenders will want you to have experience, especially if you don't plan to hire professional management.

Rates: 9% to 13% (Most Deals are 11-12%)Terms: up to 36 Months (Most Deals are 6-12 months)Fees: 2-4 points(%) of loan amount paid at closing (Most Deals are 3 points(%))Minimum Loan Amount: $50,000 (For loans less than $250,000 $2,500 minimum fee)Max Loan: 65%-70% of After Repair Value(ARV)100% Rehab Financing Available (Require 20% of purchase price down payment or cross-collateral)Closing Timeframe: 48 Hours - 3 Weeks (Most Deals are 2 Weeks)NO PRIMARY RESIDENCES, NON-OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY, BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

I would also love any advice people have from working with creative financing in similar situations. 

There are many options available still, but 2-4 unit properties are easier to stabilize and obtain financing for right now. 

Dee - As a newer investor, some of the options using "Agency Debt" (aka Fannie and Freddie financing) may not be available to you as they require 2+ years experience in multifamily space.
