He helped me get what I needed on financing a Quadplex I recently built with a local bank through a construction loan, and I am closing on Tuesday into permanent financing!  

If you see this as a permanent relocation it may be in your best interest to get a short term rental when you first arrive, even if just for a few months, while you look for employment and get to know the area. 

If you have any sort of lien on the property, you can have an easier time finding that follow on permanent financing versus trying to pull all your cash back out yourself if there is no lien on the property. 

So, I  have always wondered why the FHA 3. 5% with permanent PMI is usually touted as an introduction vs conventional with less than 3.5% downpayment and temporary PMI. 

Plenty of lenders offer 80% multifamily permanent loans; however, they usually are constrained by a minimum debt service coverage of at least 1.15x. 

You then refinance the property with a conventional mortgage or portfolio lender and now you pay off the private lender and you have permanent financing and a rental with very little or zero of your own money in it.

If it's planned to be a permanent or semi-long term relationship than you can document various exit strategies as well for dissolving the entity. 

And are pushing to make “renter protections” permanent/angling fit rent control.

Try the following: Construction loans from a small bank can be a much better route, you will have some extra closing costs, but usually the same bank will just refinance you to a permanent loan.  

Hi @Rochelle Gellineau ,I have the opportunity to meet with some of the local Pros on this forum and have been provided with a lot of advice.Here are some of the options I will be pursuing to get leads:Bandit Signs - I made 25 bandit signs and placed them around the East Valley Friday night and picked them up Sunday night.I got all my materials from a local home improvement store but had a tough time trying to get them to to stick into the hard phoenix desert landscape.So ended up trying to find places where there was a grass but that meant my signs were in places with traffic.I did not get any call backs.Lesson Learned - I will invest into getting my signs professionally done and possibly hire someone to put them out for me.I used a sharpie marker to write my message and it rained over the weekend so my message was washed away.Need to start working with a permanent solution to write the message.The second option I am using is Direct Mail, I bought list of 209 leads from list-source with a specific criteria and my plan is to mail to that targeted list using Click2mail.
