Joanne,You need to consolidate those (10) properties into a Blanket commercial loan.

I would avoid HML because Hard money loans suck and if you can avoid them its a plus to avoid paying points, prepayment penalties and Ballon payments.

Investment Info:Single-family residence private money loan investment.

I'm a loan originator with Milo and we specialize in DSCR loans for international clientele looking to invest in STRs in the U.S. 

I have an Ohio LLC and, since I am using investment loans, all my mortgages are assigned to my LLC.

If you purchase a property with no loan such that you are not leveraging your money, you are missing out on a big advantage of investing in RE and you may be better off investing in stocks as it is much more passive.  

If you are new new I would do what others have suggested and house hack, buy a 1-4 unit with an FHA loan, live in one, and rent the others, I wish I had done this when I first started. 

Doing it that would structure it more like a loan correct? 

Saving for the down payment is essential, and looking into various financing options like FHA loans or conventional loans can be beneficial.

There are some benefits for financing under an LLC (super fast refis, less paperwork, lots of loans), but also benefits for personal (30 yr fixed, low rates).
