Acquiring Properties, How to Get Beyond Two?!

[Bill Bell]

I currently have a small piece of the RM pie with 2 properties supporting 4 rental spaces.  Nice positive CF when all running/rented smoothly, but given today's financing market, what are the best strategies to move beyond two? I originally acquired my properties in the early days just before the housing market bubble when no doc loans and easy financing existed.  However, today it seems you need to complete a background similar to obtaining a Fed Gov top secret clearance to obtain lender funding.

Perhaps there is a post/thread somewhere on this site detailing some strategies?
