The truth is that if you give as much information up front and the broker knows exactly what questions to ask in order to determine which lender's guidelines/programs would be the best fit then that first broker should be able to come up with the best terms available for your scenario.  

@Jesse HarrisTypically in my mind you need to pick a goal, achieve that goal with X amount of properties or doors or cash flow and then deleverage.In your case if you have the ability to just buy in cash do that going forward.

Pick a solid B-Class suburban area.

I'm sure there is a fine line between being persistent and being harassing, how do I determine that?

If a triple family multifamily is converted to condominium, how is the square footage of each condominium determined?

If you “manage” the real estate ie pick the plumber, electrician, painter, contractor tenant ,etc and all are paid by the Ira-is that considered prohibited- I don’t think so.

You need to determine what the cost difference is between what you will lose by keeping them, what your turnover cost will be, and decide if it's worth making them an offer. 

I wouldn’t permit this to continue if I owned the building, so I’m having a hard time determining how to value the place.

The catch is that I will need to live in whatever property I pick because I am getting a 3.5% FHA loan.
