The ideal first investment property would be a multifamily which I can househack...however, my constraints for that would be within the area bounded by the highways 35, 75 and PGBT (slightly outside is fine too) due to my work commute.

Who's your ideal tenant?  

If you are hoping to buy lots of rentals it would be ideal to start a relationship with a local lender.  

I have flagged Walla Walla as my ideal place to invest.  

. $50 per month with some awesome things like the ability for them to auto mail all your noticed for just the cost of postage!

I was hoping to get some direction on the best way to obtain financing that would: Increase the likelihood of getting approval ( recent grad however I make a decent income) , wont ding my credit too much (I would ideally try more than one institution to get the best deal).Some things I am considering:1. 

We're going to start qualifying you as a customer within like 2 minutes of the conversation starting, on auto-pilot without even thinking about it.Every MLO has some time threshold, after which we will not spend additional time with a homebuyer without them submitting a credit package and providing authorization to run their credit.

This shows what type of tenant might be ideal for the space and if they are national, strong regional,or mom and pop in nature.What type of tenant determines structure and negotiation of the lease with tenant improvement credits,etc.I would not mess around with some cheap generic lease bought from Office Depot.

This is my ideal situation.

what's your arrangement to make deposits to my account - - can you auto-credit every month?
