I certainly would recommend speaking with a loan officer before paying off any student loan debt.  

They choose one with low rates or a shiny website or a fancy office or based on the recommendation of a friend or stranger on BP and just assume everything will work out.

The comradery and family feel that this office has is unique to anywhere that I have ever worked before.

Purchase price: $180,000 Cash invested: $60,000 I got this deal in my office because an older agent was talking about how she couldn't even go into the property because the mold and cockroaches.

I suppose I could also talk to the leasing office and ask them up front if I should expect a ~ $400 rent increase in April or if they would work out a better deal.

@Brad Hammond - thank you, I will double check with my loan officer to see if this could be a potential issue. 

I've only been self employed for 1 year and he was able to get me qualified which was amazing after going through 8 different loan officers.

You can sponsor office meetings or workshops, attend networking events sponsored by your local board, or just cold call/pop by.

I got word from my broker that I can hold a meetup at my office!

I had a tenant who was a police officer and had given notice to vacate.
