Guild is also one of the most expensive lenders out there, they are a big behmoth with private and public shareholders to please, so costs are much higher to drive profit for them.I am a local house hacker/investor and lender for WA State, and would be glad to help you with this @Chelsae Roach!

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

Is this a smarter way to get into the business and grow from there?

Which will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.

I am busy in a full-time job in Boston and wanted to work with someone trustworthy to get started quickly rather than get stuck in analysis paralysis or be discouraged by Boston prices.

The growth now will be in the ancillary businesses moving to the metro to support Tesla and other tech-focused manufacturers.

It's also helpful to interview a few candidates to see who you feel most comfortable with in terms of understanding your goals and who can offer practical advice tailored to your investment strategy.Make sure to ask about their experience with real estate investors, their fee structure, and whether they have dealt with setting up similar business structures.

Its just a cost of doing business . 

And it’s not just about private business.

Wanted to get more information on what type of business to set up (LLC, S-Corp, etc.)
