Is this a common practice?

My business is real estate, but on the securities side.My feedback to you is there are what feels like a million realtors in Bend already, the market swings high and low regularly so there are really big highs and really low lows......coming to Bend to start a secondary RE practice might be really difficult.

I want to practice property / deal analysis as much as possible to 1) learn how to accurately (and eventually, quickly) analyze a deal a broker sends my way, 2) learn terms, formulas and nuances of deal analysis to be able to competently speak with brokers and investors, 3) confidently discuss with potential investors why working with me will be beneficial to and help further their goals and 4) just not fudge the whole deal up.  

Your LLC is you and you probably have a better chance of getting hit by space debris than a lender exercise the due on sale clause of a mortgage that is up to date.  

Are there any banks that are more apt to lend to LLC's, or specific commercial programs that would allow for such a practice?

When you call to verify her income, you could ask what the practice is on background checks for international employees. 

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them, so practical answer is you probably lose your deposit.

It could also be because I live in Pennsylvania and there may be in a difference state laws and or banking practices.

Is this standard practice?

I recently put together a deal with 9 investors to purchase a 40 unit duplex community in Lee's Summit, MO and having the calculations/projections ready and easy to understand was the key to getting other people to sign on to invest in my deal.I also think this is a good exercise to make sure it really is a good deal like you think it is.
