Traditional Financing or Private Money

[Monique Moliere Piper]

My husband and I are looking to buy mostly single family houses to rehab and rent. We are not averse to multi-family. They are just not that many small 1-4 unit properties in our area (Baton Rouge, La). Our goal is to acquire a few single families a year.

Here's the dilemma, should we do traditional financing? We have down payment money, but not for multiple houses in a one year time period. What are some strategies to achieving this goal? Thanks!
