Hi @Joy Runzel -Maybe avoid institutional lenders (i.e. banks or large companies like Quicken Loans). 

While this loan maybe smaller than standard if you go into the conversations with all your numbers laid out and say this is the first of many transactions you're hope to work through with this institution they maybe willing to play ball. 

If you have a lot of stored cash and are looking for somewhere to park it other than the stock market or financial institution then rentals may be your choice. 

I would like to participate in the community and talk with like minded individuals, here on BP.

In the end you should only accept money from a person/institution that you are comfortable being tied to.

I love to participate in those.Most current cap rates for NNN RE can be found here.  

I would get to watch and and participate in putting deals together.

The big institutions are usually not looking for smaller commercial apartment buildings.

And depending on the financial institution or Hard Money Lender, you'd need a 20-25% of whatever you are borrowing. 

and Ja, du læste rigtigt (Yes, you read that right).The mortgage is possible because Denmark, as well as Sweden and Switzerland, has seen rates in money markets drop to levels that turn banking upside-down.Høegh said Jyske Bank is able to go into money markets and borrow from institutional investors at a negative rate, and is simply passing this on to its customers.
