Tell the independent broker that you want no fewer than three quotes to compare.

There are some good wholesalers out there, offering good deals with realistic numbers, though they tend to be fewer and harder to find.

@CJ Edenfield  these guys may offer this but getting one of your deals to get he seal of approval that's were the rub will come.loaning 100% to a newbie regardless of interest rate is a very dangerous thing..

Small servicer is defined elsewhere as lenders making and servicing fewer than 5000 of their own loans.

The advantage of multiple properties is that you are less hurt from any one vacancy, though buying a multi in a more expensive market has the same result.The more expensive properties allow you to have fewer loans, which is an advantage because it isn't just the amount you have borrowed that affects your ability to get loans, but also the number of loans you have.Also, fewer tenants results in fewer headaches, and you will spend less time on one expensive property rather than the cheaper ones.The issue is that usually cheaper properties will usually provide better returns, before accounting for your time.If you can get the same return on the more expensive property, do it.
