The interest rate and terms seem most dependent on perceived risk, LTV, property quality, borrower strength and experience, and sophistication of lender.If I misunderstood your questions please be more specific and I’ll try again.

I'm definitely shooting for working with an investor friendly agent with experience though which could add a lot value and fill in my knowledge gaps.I appreciate the input David, you provided some quality insight that was very helpful.

You've come to the right place for quality advice and information.

Move to the suburbs and you get lower taxes, lower crime, and higher quality of life.If population continues to decline we'll lose our tax base and the politicians will need to raise taxes even more.

Trustworthy, experienced, and like-minded are all qualities I like to look for.Start by quantifying your goals and assets: What do you want your investments to produce, and by when?

IMO Floor and decor while having beautiful displays, has crap for quality. 

In the next few years, we'll 1031 exchange that house into an apartment building or a beach house.Nothing fancy, just owning quality property over time, and having tenants pay for it.

Can’t avoid them all, but you can avoid most if you’ve got a decent quality product priced in a way that you can be selective. 

Game changer for me.If the quality ever suffers, I'll check out simplifile.

I think I was being a little too ambitious just such a waste to toss pretty good quality products.
