They have many lender relationships and find the best lender (based on the criteria you match to). 

@Mason GriffinStarting with a duplex and using a VA loan is a wise decision for first-time homeowners since they often have cheaper interest rates and do not demand a down payment.

Feel free to make your own best decision.

The ONLY advantage is taking over the existing interest rate.

For future operations, it would be best to require regular inspections and maintenance.

Hello All,I'm under contract to purchase my first office space in Raleigh NC and was curious if anyone has any commercials properties in the area whose brain I can pick.I have a few questions on things such as best entity to buy it under, insurance policies, having a cost segregation study completed, etc.

If so, will there be a recapture higher rate on profit made above that amount? 

I've been skipped over on 2 investments as well.You have to constantly be on backs to get a answer why u don't receive your quarterly deposits.Now its last week of March still no tax paperwork received so I can file.I would look elsewhere for decent returns.I think they didn't plan on higher rates going into this market

Best of luck as you get started.Chris
