I would definitely recommend for you to get your license if your debating it, it’s not a difficult course and it can be done after work.The base knowledge you get from taking the course is really valuable.I took courses after work at a Coldwell Banker branch ( Oak Brooke) and the teacher was amazing.They offer very flexible hours- I personally took the night class ( 6-10 pm) 4 days a week, for a total of 90 hrs.

I'm going to see the credit union loan officer in person next week.

I personally am doing both.

If you aren't local and don't have a trusted boots on the ground right hand person I think your decision to hold off is the correct one.

Hi I am hoping to purchase my first rental property and have already set up an LLC for all of the tax benefits that it brings.I was hoping to get a mortgage to own the property in Charlotte NC under my LLC's name with a personal guarantee. 

Just my personal opinion and others with more knowledge could prove my wrong, but I would say that you should buy if the rental numbers make sense based on current conditions and don't expect much appreciation.

(I may also be able to pull a HELOC on my primary home)I will rent the property between $1200-1400, I will immediately get a LOC on the rental property to pay off my personal LOC and Credit cards.
