HI Lianne, check in with @Joseph Chiofalo .

Your rate would likely be in the 5s if you do not check all the boxes.Since you seem so adamant on rate, you might want to get an ARM.

Yes, there may be a small exposure to floating rate loans, but these are hedged with swaps, not caps, and account for generally less than 20% of the overall debt attributed to assets.  

Just make them send it in with the rent check. 

LTR rates by checking out HUD/Section 8, local news, I'll google local companies hiring etc.

Bruce,No need to guess.You can check them out for free.They have plenty of free “open house” meetings with both people working with them and people  checking then out who aren’t working with them, all in the same meeting and there is live Q&A with the owners.It’s easy to lump all coaches and programs into one group .

Your best bet might be to check with Planning and Code.
