It seems there are a lot of RE finance companies right now.

I just discovered the fine print on owning my property in an LLC... you can't do a cash out re-fi through FHA.

Best of luck to you all on your RE endeavors. :) 

Everything in RE is a calculated risk. 

I just read and enjoyed Paul Moore's "The Perfect Investment" (re: multifamily buildings), and also finished "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," which I thought was just so so.

We responded and stated that upon inspection, if the property was in clean order, i would release half of it the next day; i explained that the back tenant is not communicating with me and will not let me enter the granny flat so I'm concerned i may need the deposit to evict her. 

FHA is good due to the low down payment but the up front MI is very expensive.... in addition, you have to add .8 to your rate which is going to be your monthly MI so it will eat into your monthly profits; you cannot drop the MI, you would have to refinance to get rid of it. make sure you properly calculate the payment with all escrows and re-run you numbers...

My name is Robert and I am new to RE investing.

From reading previous posts on here over a few months I have seen that many people invest and then get the RE license to get ahead on MLS listed deals or save some money haha.   

@Michelle Jarreau I would purchase bunch of small multifamily properties in my market (Berwyn, Forest Park, Riverside) and then re-position them using the BRRR strategy.
