The only thing that it could do is lower the amount you can borrow for the investment due to increasing your DTI, but 10k isn't that much. 1.9% is pretty low and should be easy to out perform the debt...

Smaller brokers are likely to have more flexible terms, lower fees, and might be able to give you a better commission split.

Hey Rob,You will be hard pressed to find duplexes, triplexes or a fourplex in Toledo in a decent area at a solid price.After buying hundreds of properties over the years, those types of deals are a dime a dozenFor whatever reason they hold their value and not many folks are willing to sell at a discount.I suggest not investing in lower class assets from afar as it's just too volatile.The paper numbers look great but real life is a different storyMuch success

AS well as its usually not until year 2 and 3 were these lower end units start to fail..

I think it's smart to use an estimate on the lower end of the three sources, just to make sure you aren't counting on a level of rent that might not pan out.

BTW, I'm working on a few MF 'deal' (transactions may be a better word;) proposals with other parties and the scenario is conceptually like yours, although I'd prefer to just get the K-1s and have everything (every deal) separate... hence the SPEs. 

Any lender can help you in this transaction.

That last guy in the chain was super pissed at me when I pointed out 4 other people had offered me the same deal at progressively lower prices.
