Our personal house in a really nice neighborhood has actually appreciated less on a percentage basis than some of our cheaper rental properties in the same amount of time. 

I'm reducing the footprint and repricing.... finally a smart person. our floorplan for each unit we build is 668 sq ft and 2 beds for that exact same reason. people that Aren't in cheap markets don't understand. in columbus we face appraisal issues if we don't keep it as small as possible. 

(This is obviously a simplification; one must consider risk, personal comfort, ability to manage, etc.).The wealth builder should always consider selling or trading his property for a property that will increase his net worth FASTER.  

The LLC is a legal entity separate from your personal self. 

I have a legal business in the U.S. that has been open 1.5 years and I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for a personal or business loan that will give me the best rate for this purchase? 

Purchase price: $116,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Personal home that will become a rental once fixed and updated or will be used for HELOC to purchase other properties on/off market at that time.

Personally, I've never bought this way, but I have sold using this method.

I can give you some advice that I learned from personal experience, and from also taking a BP course on multifamily.1) Are there any particular sub-markets within Orlando that are well-suited for small multi-family investment opportunities?

I don't recommend you bid on any as a new person.

It also stays off of your personal credit/DTI which will help you as you live your life outside of these properties.Those will be a specific set of lenders that you will want to look into as many of them have different requirements that you would have to adhere to, but overall much more of a simpler process than your conventional lenders, while being a couple of points higher in processing.
