But I consider myself very handy (thanks to my dad teaching me young) so I have taken advantage of it. 

There is value in every service; if the individuals involved make the decision to be receptive to it. 

Are these just Arbitrary ratings, given as a best guess by the individual investor?

Are there other options for splitting these costs among individuals within the LLC or would this money just come from a personal account and once you physically own the house you would deed it over to your LLC?

Seems pretty unnecessary at that level.Also, and this is probably a dumb question, lets say I am looking at a 3 flat, and each individual floor is around 1200 sq ft.  

Residential mortgages do not allow for a company to own the property, must be in individual names.Generally most use LLC's for buy and hold, as there is less paperwork required each year than an S-Corp.

It seems like a real estate investing course that teaches you a formula of some kind might be helpful.

Call 413-636-3273 to let me know your individual buying parameters and to determine mutual benefit.

That's what the license teaches.
