Did you run a background and credit check?

I recently started listening to the BP podcast and I’ve become extremely motivated to start diving into real estate investing.I’ve been sitting on the sidelines for about a year because I’m younger, 24 years old, fell on hard times (injury put me down for 7 months), I fell into a fog, trashed my credit, foolishly filed for Bankruptcy even though I wasn’t in a massive amount of debt (30k) and I ended up deeply regretting doing so.

I think folks have to get over this... those price points are not coming back.. unless the same issue that caused them manifest themselves again.. a total Credit freeze...  

Its tough to give a spot on answer as I don't know your credit profile, terms of the loan etc, but a 6% interest rate for a non owner occupied property may not be too expensive.

My credit union has offered me a great interest rate for a secondary home.However, they stated that the bank will not allow me to put the property in an LLC, after the purchase.If I can purchase this property with a great interest rate, can I refinance, after a year, with a major bank, and place that property under a LLC?

Do you have credit cards?

I’ve found a commercial lender that will give me a line of credit on 80% of the combined equity of the properties. 

They had bad credit and couldn’t just get a loan to pay off their taxes.

I have talked to a couple of local credit unions and either I got connected with the wrong person or they are not very generous on what they are willing to provide as each of them were not quoting very favorable terms.

I think most lines of credit won't have an amortization schedule, because they are meant for frequent smaller purchases, I have no clue about the rate though.
