It’s supposedly the standard form the national association of realtors put out so everyone will use it.

Especially in today's competitive market, being creative has never been so important! 

He calls them on a dialer and filters to see if they are interested in buying investment properties.

I'm so glad I took the leap of faith and now have a couple of rentals.

After an intro call and vision board, intro to strategic lending partner, four physical tours, two offers on two properties (with the second accepted below asking price) a quick inspection with (minor inspection issues resolved by seller), appraisal waiver and below market rate lock..

So you would have to get a commercial loan if going straight to the LLC - which usually has worse terms (shorter rate lock period, shorter amortization schedule).USUALLY, you can borrow personally and then deed it to the LLC after the fact and as long as the LLC is owned by the borrower you won’t trigger a due on sales clause.  

So, what does that mean for buyers and sellers?
