About the only reason you would use a portfolio lender is if you need a very unique mortgage product or you can't qualify for conventional financing.

Unless you have some other unique situation, verify with your CPA before planning.

My girlfriend and I are new to BP and have a unique situation.

What will you bring to the table that is unique.  

This will be easier to explain if you partner with your professor in an LLC as a gift cannot comprise 100% of the downpayment. 3) I think each scenario will be new and unique to you.

Having lived in SoCal and been to nearly every craft brewery in the Inland Empire, Orange County, and Temecula Valley, I grew very fond of trying new and unique styles of beer and sour ales.

Hey everyone, still new to the real estate game, so I figured I'd ask now before going down a path where I'm paying two people when I could have had it handled by one.Does anyone know of any firms/agencies in the Tampa region who are both real estate attorneys (to handle LLC formation, contracts, compliance, litigation, foreclosures, short sales, etc) and CPA (to handle taxes and finances).

I called the local va regional authority to find out if it was possible.

I have a list of more local/regional banks/CUs to call, but being new to commercial lending, I think my stumbling along and lack of knowledge is hurting my chances.We would really like to leverage what we have there on other opportunities.

Every deal is unique.
