BP forums, Facebook groups, and in-person investor meetups around ATL/Cobb are great for connecting.

Do you have a 501c3 that you operate under (and rent the house from yourself), or do you purchase homes with an LLC or personal name, and run as a regular business? 

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Remember that for most owners, their business is very personal to them.

@Nikol Catino  We have lenders that will allow you to own in your personal name in FL for a DSCR loan. 

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.1) Holdfolio isn't a match for me, personally (due to not enough experience, skin in the game, etc).

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Frank Nguyen, I am only echoing the other comments: if you have a verbally agreed upon price, personally, stick with it and get the lease signed. 

Once I had the right person to speak with, things went much better, and I hope that is the case for your situation, too.  

However, when reading the FHA Loan Contingency Exhibit, section 20 reads: Home Warranty:If the improvements on Property are less than one year old at the time of Closing, Seller shall, if required by FHA, provide a home warranty certificate acceptable to FHA.Does this mean I have to personally warranty any issues on the property that may arise within a year or buy a home warranty from a company that offers that.

This is my only rental property so far, although I own my personal home out-right in UT (no mortgage).
