Need help with financing my real estate goal for rental propertys

[Christian Requejo]

As of right now I am going to go over with you quickly my 20 to 25 year retirement plan to live off cash-flow. Guys in the next 5 to 10 years I plan to buy 1 to 2 properties a year. I am looking to keep things simple and easy for me. My goal is to simply invest in SFH or Condos in A/B neighborhoods. I don't want to deal with crappy tenants and old buildings. I have zero (0) debt, and I have been working at my current job that I love for the past 20 years. I make a good living and I have enough money to start investing comfortably. My credit is Excellent. I want to avoid having to put down 20% on every home that purchase. Can someone with my credentials find a lender that will take less than 20% as a down payment? Any other ideas for me to fund these real estate deals? I am in for the long-term so I just wanted to know if I am stuck with the convention traditional loan? or does my great financial situation allow me for better financing options?
