I am sold plus caliber of renter is off the charts. compared to regular  make 100 or 200 a door C class rentals. 

In general, a HML can offer quicker access to funds and often a more efficient process (less cumbersome as compared to going the traditional bank route).

@Eric Samuels  As others have said, you should definitely compare different lenders AND make sure to not just look at rates/fees.

If the property is vacant, lenders will base the loan off a 1007 report, which is a comparable market rent report for the subject property.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I make that decision not based on how much it is going to cost, because most repair costs are negligible compared to the income it generates.  

The competition for multifamily properties isnt as high as compared to single family properties as most retail buyers don't want to be a landlord or wait for tenants to move out.

Conventional loans do have low interest rates but since Fannie/Freddie reduced the size of their portfolio of investment loans to 7%, the rates are pretty comparable to portfolio loans.

And just to clarify on the above, I thought a possible loop-hole would be the double-close as the agent acting as a wholesaler would be temporarily taking title in their name/ ownership, but for a salesperson the law says "A salesperson may advertise to sell property under his or her own name if the property is his or her principal residence"Compared to for a broker, "Any individual licensed as a broker or associate broker may advertise personally-owned property for sale or for lease in his or her own name."
