I know there comes a point where you have to "poop or get off the pot" (using the PG version here) and there's a lot of learning with experience, but how do I know when I'm there?

These lenders can include:- Local Banks & Credit Unions (typically lowest interest rates, but capped to 25-yr ams and usually 3, 5, or 7-yr balloons)- The "Secondary Market Lenders" who are going to require a PG usually, but will offer that 30-yr fixed, as well as the ever-so-sought after 5 - 10yr Hybrid loans (I/O during first 5-10 years, then converts to a 20-25 yr fully amortizing loan [no balloon!]).

I bet there are other counties too in Texas that have methods where you can get these records for less than $1/pg.

My question is why would I choose the option to get the loan in the business name with my pg, vs only getting in my name with the same pg. 

As it states in the title, I'm looking for some recommendations for an attorney in the DC/Baltimore area who can help me with fixing up a few leases, one for a residential property in Baltimore City, and another for a commercial property in PG County.

I am going to disagree with the PG statement.. while I get the thought behind it those that have a PG that is actually worth anything normally are going to get the very best rates there are or bank money.. 

The trouble we are facing is with without a PG we can only get a bridge loan (~24 months) which afterwards we won't be able to refinance unless we have a significant number of properties (5+).  

I complete agree with you about inflation. 100% I'm pulling out whatever I can get out and will reinvest, likely in another metro area, since it's hard to cash-flow in PG/Charles as strongly as I could a few years ago and I'd like to really cash flow on my next group of houses. 

I know that I want to focus on single family homes in PG County to rent to start with.

Or borrow money from a bank with a PG?
