The NEXT one......
Hello Everyone! I have had some great success with a VA loan in San Diego in my 2 bd 2 ba condo. It has allowed me to gain wealth faster than renting, but now I find acquiring the next property very daunting. I feel as if I have too much debt compared to my income to ever be able to get another loan for the next property. Is this the point where I need to go for private funding and hard money lenders? I could sell the condo and "exchange" for something hopefully bigger but I'd love to hold and hang on to the San Diego property. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
