How to grow rental portfolio

[William S.]

I have a aggressive goal to reach five rental properties fairly quickly. Other than saving a lot of money for down payments what are my options? Hard money lenders, heloc? Looking for clever ways to raise capital for down payment money. Once I hit five properties I'd like to ease up on growth as compounding with five will achieve what I need/want. Interested in using the low interest rates while they are still around.
