You are not going to purchase turnkey in the 50's in these areas.I am a big proponent of finding good houses in the low to mid 50's.

A pretty property with low equity should be the target.MLOs don't necessarily have to be a commercial property, just multi-family in my experience. 

The low inventory situation makes it harder to compete with cash buyers.  

Hello all,Very envious of of the low-priced houses in all these US cities.

However, your LTV is very low.

Real estate won't be full time for me in the immediate future so I'm looking for a broker with low fixed fees as opposed to a higher CX split. 

With the low interest rates we have had recently I have tried with several lenders to do a streamline refi and or try to access some if any equity from the property.

You are trying to get bank rates & terms for a private non-arms-length note.First, the interest rate is too low.
