Treat this like a business (because it is), keep operating expenses as low as possible while making your spot aesthetically desirable.

If so, that origination fee is the basically the same as points so treat it as such when you are comparing lenders. 3) This seems like the best rate and fixed or 7/1 seems like the best deal.

BUT….You need to treat EVERYONE the same or you are guilty of discrimination.

You are better to pay for a better insurance policy, do things right to limit your risk, (LLCs, fix things that are broken or hazards) and to treat your tenants right so that they don't want to sue you.

Unfortunately you really need to treat with bait boxes.  

Always treat residents with respect and dignity, regardless of their disposition.

Different lenders will treat rents differently, but Freddie Mac just put new guidance on Rent (see below).

Starting out, I made the decision to treat my business as a business.

I will be financing through this LLC so there will be a lien on the title at the time of signing, but can I treat this as a “cash” offer?
