Congrats, yes I would use an attorney to do all my closings. It's normally the same price as title company but they can do more. Yes I would suggest getting loan docs in place, they normally give them to the attorney for signature and review. 6 months is a short timeline for your 1st deal , make sure you have an extension clause, in case you do have seasoning requirements. You could also have your buy & hold LLC purchase from your renovation company so you have a clean title transfer and better new acquisition rates vs. a refi. It's like buying the house from a company that you might have partners in to fix, then buying when it's turnkey.

I do 3 times the rent, no violent criminal or evictions ....... unless u want to do 2nd chances with a double deposit. Verify employment with pay stubs and over 90 days. Look for any rent judgements on credit, etc.

Make sure it's a 10% CAP for above, and you'll soon find that it's easier to find funding than u think :) You can also take in a partner to assist or use a property management company.

So when you can't find them ......... you just create them. Example: Just for #'s sake if houses in a neighborhood are 100k, then just offer 70k cash to everyone in the neighborhood to see who takes you up on the offer. You can always use private funding for acquisition on fast closings ......... then refi into a longer term financing loan. :)
