The banker even told me I could transfer the properties into my name and then after the loan closes deed it back to the LLC.

I was a mortgage banker for 18 years before making a career change to the insurance industry.

Therefore, we need a professional, loaded to hilt, software program that will grow with us, and let us enter in crucial data information that we need, that we can print out to give to our hard money lenders, bankers, most of all to US in order to know where we stand financially any time of the day.Online will give most of this data, but it lacks the levels of the desktop. 

As for inheriting tenants, I like taking on tenants because it usually means immediate cash flow which my bankers like to see.

Do you have the ability to work well with architects, engineers, bankers, investors, zoning and planning?

As a mortgage banker having dealt with a whole number of credit repair companies, all 3 CRAs as well as other credit restoration/support companies, I can tell you that you're best bet is to have the following:1 - 2 installment loans which would include a mortgage, car loan, car insurance, student loans, etc.  3, yes 3 revolving credit lines (so 3 credit cards)carrying a 20% - yes, yikes but I've been told by many, many sources this is correctKeep in mind that the credit score you pull from creditkarma and freecreditreport.com will NOT be the same scores you get when a lender pulls your credit for mortgage purposes. 

So I joined like everyone else for the networking opportunities.My ultimate goal is to syndicate / invest in my own deals with the help of private lenders and/or private equity.Although I understand the multifamily business from a bankers point of view, I'm endeavoring to learn this business through the eyes of an experienced investor.

They were very careful about loans, and, in my opinion, their head banker was finacially brilliant.But the real estate market has gotten so bad that even the good risk mortgages are failing.
