With that said, commercial loans can be easier to obtain and will sometimes be a better fit for your projects (as-complete rehab loans, etc).And just curious....how many random colleague requests and forum mentions do you get here with that name? 

Regarding metallic epoxy I forgot to mention it’s...- impervious to water, oils, paints, etc.

I'll look into those two areas you mentioned.

Thank you @Brian Garrett, I did talk to a friend that is an appraiser and he mentioned that in certain areas the houses are selling for less than the appraised value, could there be a correction going on? 

At this point of the deal I cannot ask for anything else because of the above mentioned.

I have to mention that I do have a relationship and a bank account with a local bank in Florida and I do own a LLC in OhioWould I be able to use the equity on my two properties to pay down the deposit for the third one?

This is definitely true for me, however, I can't find if Amanda and Matt mention the Real Estate Professional definition as a requirement for that or not.If I can take the deduction, can you send me some collateral I can forward to my CPA? 

Which means one or multiple of you will have to be on the loan.Secondly which you sort of mentioned yourself is at 2-300 a month cash flow/ 3 isn’t a lot to get excited about.

Ask around your local investor meetings for names of reputable lenders, you will often find the same names mentioned, and if someone asks you for up front fees then run in the other direction.

Not to mention its illegal for Real estate agents to pay referral fee's to non licensed persons
