Question: is there a way to use my existing Portfolio of SF assets as leverage/collateral to secure a large finance partner to maybe get me into that larger MF sooner?

I plan to eventually get into larger investments such as apartments and commercial real estate.

If this is "typical", then you just need to sort it out. if this is completely out of the norm, I would move on to the next applicant.Good luck. 

Too expensive, too much paperwork, too much to think about.I would do an individual LLC for larger buildings 20+, but otherwise, everything goes into our holding partnership LLC.   

Cash purchases.Currently looking into refinancing to get equity out for larger commercial investments.

Account Closed To my knowledge, and someone please let me know if I am missing something, PMI is only avoidable if you put down 20% or more, regardless of the loan type.Conventional loans usually require a larger downpayment. 

Did you put a down payment of any sort while purchasing this home?

At some point, when you start value your time, you'll become very picky how to invest your time.Time is more valuable than money because you never make more time.Just learn how to sort out and don't waste your time on something not worthy.Until you know the difference, all that is the experience 

But with The Villages being out past Leesburg and closer to Ocala than it is to Orlando, it sort of becomes it's own isolated market. 

Surely if I'm saving by going private there must be some sort of trade off, no?
