Hi Jay,Thank you for that break down, it gives me a better understanding of narrowing down my option to which state to invest in first.Miguel Suarez

Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.

If I am also pre-qualified/approved with two other lenders, B and C, and lender A denies financing, can the seller see that I am approved with other lenders? 

Are there any B and C class safe neighborhoods to recommend? 

I am struggling to decide whether to get into this home or narrow down to a property that is $310k and can pay for the mortgage right out of the gate?

Anthony, Florida is huge, you need to narrow your search.

But the more I learn about corporate credit and D&B and CAPEX scores, the more it seems that having an LLC is worth just for the benefits of building access to increasing capital over time through corporate credit and "true" business credit.Re: regular business credit cards, as you mentioned, I'm using Fund&Grow at the moment to get as many as I can (but those cards have my personal guarantee attached to them).

Unless they are planning a ton of preventive health operations/community health outreach they are just putting a band-aid on a broken bone.   

1) It is hard to say which strategy or financing to choose but I believe the first step should be getting pre approved and seeing what you can afford and start narrowing down your options maybe you can’t afford large multifamily or don’t have the capital for a rehab on a BRRRR so something like a single family or small multi family would make more sense. 2) Figure out what strategy you are comfortable with, you mentioned you had a wife for example, maybe house hacking a duplex (living on in unit and renting out the other) will be more comfortable than house hacking the basement of a single family. 3) As for financing, get pre approved see what you can afford and maybe you only have enough for FHA 3.5% down and closing cost, I don’t know the Spokane Washington market.

Agreed with @Kory Reynolds’s points, great stuff here.Joseph - I’d advise your CPA take a look at IRC 301(b) and its corresponding regs.
