I suppose you could get the ones off of Amazon, but I would personally get the industrial grade isolation pads used for vibration tables in labs. 

I'm new to REI and I live in Cincinnati Ohio working as a rep in the medical supply industry.

While no one can deny that  saving even a a few fractions of a percentage in interest rates is a good thing, what most people end up doing is prolonging the time they carry such debt, and thus paying more interests in the long term, which I guess is a good thing for people in the lending industry.

@Omosanya 'OJ' Cole,My best advice for anyone getting into real estate, especially doing fixer uppers, get a good partner.. determine your weaknesses, and find someone where that's their strengths.    

I'm always looking to network, and get in touch with people in the industry.

You both have motivated and inspired me, as has cranking out this post.Last Spring I left a 16 year career in the commercial maritime industry.

However, being tied to the real estate industry the last 7 years from my past job and now investing, I read the Gary Keller books a lot and got a lot from those. 

Every one has different goals, strengths and weaknesses, risk tolerance levels etc.  

Just make sure that the CPA you work with has experience in the real estate industry. 

Some wholesale lenders have "no PMI" rate sheets, with bumped rates, because they are basically just trying to trick the mortgage professionals the way mortgage professionals trick consumers (there is a lot of stupid in my industry, which means that I'm sure some folks believe it).
