Is this just wishful thinking?...
That I can buy a rental property with none of my own money?
I want to:
-Use a private lender to come up with the down payment
-Get a conventional loan
-Pay the private lender interest only until I refinance and pull the equity out to pay back the original loan amount
Is this even possible? I have doubt that a mortgage lender will allow me to use "loaned" money as a down payment and I have doubt that I can refinance and pull out 20% equity.
Thank you in advance for the advice!

A mentor of mine gave me some advice one time that I loved and has seriously helped me with real estate.
"Never ask can you do something. Ask how to do it."
There is always a way. The successful people are the ones who have figured out how to do something most other people have thought to be impossible.
