There is a group for everyone-- I am still searching for mine and I don't know, maybe I wouldn't mind, but I am afraid I would be very distracted by a child-- I am betting that there are other parents of toddlers that could create a group.

@Yannes Chiang your best bet is local bank, regional or community bank. did you try any of these?

So do these two companies require NMLS licenses to operate since they are not offering the loans themselves? 

@Barron Alec KartchnerLocal real estate meet ups will be your best bet

Paying anything less than a grand you are betting on getting nothing than warranty issues.

If you can't find it, adjust to what you can find and adjust your plan accordingly.I bet you'll get a lot of far ranging answers to those two numbers. 

While my business is in MA, all my rentals and my residence are in NH - so......After you set up the LLC per the instructions above, you'll still need an operating agreement, which most people skip. 

@Jon Lilley, Never bet against @Nicholas Aiola :)  He's spot on with a partial exchange recommendation. 

And they continue to operate.
