What you choose determines if it is part of your personal return (Sole Proprietorship) or if you need to file a separate return anything else.If you choose a sole proprietorship the LLC can be treated as a disregarded entity.

Most real estate loans will take 30-45 days to close as the banks need to order title work and an appraisal to determine that you actually own or will own the property and to determine that the value of the property is there which is being used as their collateral.

Using the conventional loan vs FHA and my clients having confidence to not request a unit vacant upon close were huge determining factors in the sellers accepting their offer.

I think getting actual quotes would help me determine what I can afford to withdraw from the whole life policy if I go that route. 

Depending on the price of the property I come across and deal it turns out to be (using the BP calculator) will determine if I ; A) FHA the property or B) use my capital for costs.

And before you ask what area of real estate I’m interested in, I have not determined that quite yet.

Target CoC 20%+ at whatever gross revenue I determine from my research.

It would be wise to supply the lender the addresses of the properties so that they can determine in advance if they fit the geographic makeup that they lend on or if they would be considered too rural for their loan product.

It is best practice that you contact them at least 30 days prior to determine whether they intend to leave or want to renew.

I find the "space travellers" are unfamiliar with the area, and they are starting off upset (edit note:  spell checker must have changed the spelling I used from "Pis***" to "upset") because they had to travel so far from home base...and mentally that already sets their calculater up automatically multiplying every number by 90%.2 - "Be prepared with comps that favor what I need the numbers to be for after I got a low appraisal".
