Currently, I am a REALTOR in Auburn, AL, and the surrounding areas (I selected the location as Birmingham because that is the closest option to me).

Hi Kevin, the closest think I can think of for you would be to have a partner who supplies the liquidity on your Operating Agreement.

If the goal is simply to better understand the commercial landscape, values, and happenings, skip buying any course and start subscribing to the Business Journal for your closest major metro.

Can I ask what rate you ultimately decided on and which of those 3 services was closest to that rate?

Take that wherever you want to :)Why: I am fortunate that my job has given me far more than most of my closest friends and family, and I want to provide others with opportunities and support where it's most needed.

@Brian Coffey What part of the city are you in and what public transit is closest?

To the best of my knowledge the closest one is approx. 1 1/2hrs away 

Dave Meyer is probably the closest to give a reasonably educated answer to that one. 

Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!

I would start with your home state or the one that is closest to you if you do not live in a tax lien state.
