If you need to pull out more than 80% LTV (and some banks allow that) you will be paying into some hefty interest rates.  

Different rate environment, but the rent-by-the-room is the quickest way to buy and save toward the second, third, fourth. 

Typically, when I'm buying, I do not pay for any of the closing costs, except for items which are pro-rated (I pay my share and the seller pays his) and I pay half of the title company's closing fee (which in Nevada, is about $300 per purchase I make).

Not using a nominal rate per door for analyzing cash flow. 

What's interesting is that the rentals for October were booked at a higher rate than the current nightly rate for July and August.

I am curious if the fees I am being presented are in line with market norms:lender app fee: $10,000Origination fee 1% ($20,000)Lender costs: shows a fixed amount at $10,000processing fee $895registration fee $10,000Title and escrow fees: $4,000 est.6.5% rate fixed at 10 yearsPrepayment Penalty: Yield Maintenance months 1-114 (1% minimum)Third Party ReportsApppraisal Required Engineering Required Environmental N/A Seismic Report N/A Market Study N/A Funded EscrowsReal Estate Taxes Required Prop/Liability Insurance Required Special Assessments N/A Ground Lease N/A Replacement Reserves N/A Required Repairs TBD Debt Service Reserve N/AWould love to hear your thoughts on this as well as what you think is appropriate fees for the freddie mac sbl program. 

Is the pre-payment penalty worth the lower rate you'd get.

This strategic move paid off handsomely as we were able to command higher rents than initially projected.Here are the key financial details of the deal:Purchase Price: $270,000 (jointly with a partner)Financing: Obtained a commercial bank loan with a 30% down payment, 7% interest rate, and a 20-year amortization period.Initial Rents: $1050 and $1250Current Rents: $1400 and pre-leasing for $1500 (making it a 1% rule deal!)

Then the lender will borrow you the $200k at a very high rate hoping you fail to make payments. 

I have a home I am wanting to sell that has a great interest rate with a conventional loan.
