We just need to weather the storm while prepping for military retirement as well. thanks!

The bank does have programs known as CIP, or "Know Your Customer" rules and they are heavily regulated to stop money laundering.

I'm done rental comps through Zillow, FB Marketplace and here on BP and it seems we could get between $1900-2500 for our SFH so we thought we would start on the high end and see what happens.I can't find the KPI test online but I've done the MBTI (on the Shorewest site) and the DISC personality quizzes and I feel encouraged that my skills and personality will be a good fit but of course also very curious to give it a try and see how I do in the long run, maybe I will be exposed to other roles that would fit as well.

I could understand if I was looking for hard money or private lenders but I figure if one bank would approve a conventional mortgage on a property most other banks would as well at the same or similar terms right?

The Texas LLC receives royalties from Texas oil wells.

I look forward to continuing to learn from the BiggerPockets community as I navigate my real estate investing journey.I’ve had some success on the eastern shore of Maryland, though even that market has started to frankly become expensive, there are still pockets of potential growth both rent & appreciation, thoigh it’s becoming harder to find, also there is a massive rental shortage out there, a county I just put a property contract on, literally has 3 properties for rent right now, but it does make rental comps quite difficult, outside of that I’ve started looking a little more into western Md and some southern pa markets but still trying to get a feel for them, overall I think in this market places that are affordableish and have some draw will do well with the continued wfh + affordability crisis but keep in mind while I think the eastern shore is actually fairly safe market for the most part a lot of rural areas definitely have boom bust potential and in theory more risk than dc metro, though the low price points do by definition tend to mitigate some of those risks.
