Private loans are usually a bit more attractive but difficult to get unless you have experience or someone in your network willing to lend to you.

You want your property on the MLS in a market this hot so that you can attract the most buyers possible. 

Being able to be an attractive employeer benefits wise to have & keep good workers.

Their numbers on a couple of metrics looked attractive.

The most affordable strategy is to find good deals on used mobile homes located in other parks and then move them into your park (it usually costs half as much as purchasing brand new mobile homes, which is your other alternative).

Or you can look for an alternative for that other one they don't handle well.  

So, my question is, if we transfer money from our refinance into our newly formed LLC, would that make our LLC more attractive to a lender for a first time REI investment?

But I was also given alternate sites that did something similar. 

You may also want to only buy in nicer neighborhoods, so you are attracting tenants that are more likely to take good care of your place, keeping turnover costs lower.Lastly, just listen to a ton of podcasts and read as many books as you can.

Feel free to PM me if you are unable to find alternatives to Liberty and I will see if I can suggest some.
