@Jeff Greenberg holds a monthly casual networking hangout for investors in Santa Monica on the 2nd Saturday of every month and a pretty good majority of the investors there are doing out-of-state stuff, so it might be a good place to go to learn more of what they are doing and be able to ask questions and such.

I'm not looking to do a 3rd lien as a cash out, I'm just looking to get more out of the LOC since the equity has increased by so much. the real crummy part about it, is that if I go with another company for the LOC and they have to have permission to re-subordinate, that would tip off the mortgage company that holds my first that it's not my primary anymore, and they could possibly want me to refinance into a different product...which I could do...but I wouldn't necessarily want to do haha

I’m closing on my ideal 4-plex near a major university and medical centers using an FHA loan.

Your insurance will also be a lot lower because you're only insuring the space between the walls.The downside is that if the association is bad, then the building could be left to fall apart, and then you'll have a huge assessment for major repairs when they can no longer be ignored. 

Like if you have a major outlay for a sewer line or roof.

No you will have to clean walls with a degreasing product and then repaint.

The platform is associated with major U.S. banks so most tenants have access to it through their checking accts.

I put together the MSA comparison for each major MSA markets for real estate and Nashville, TN was an interesting data point.

It has been very well taken care with the major nuts and bolts like the windows, roof etc being in good condition currently but it was basically treated as "if it's renting and not broke don't fix it". 

From talking to someone who also is fairly new in this field, I found that all major banks he went to told him they didn't offer Cash-out refinances on rental property.Does RBFCU offer CORE-Fi on investment properties?
