Closed on #2 today and #3 tomorrow
I finally closed on rental property #2 today. I will close on #3 on tomorrow. The properties are located in Lancaster, Texas. I closed on my first property 1 year ago and currently have a fabulous tenant so I am hoping to find great tenants for these properties as well. But first, I need to do some renovations. If you are in the area and can recommend contractors or handy men please refer.
Thank you for letting me share my success stories.

You can go conventional with 1-4 unit residential investment properties.
For your existing home, a cash out refinance is a great way to get started in real estate.
For the first 6 mortgaged properties, your required down payment on an investment property is;
- A SFR requires a LTV of 85%
- A MFR requires a LTV of 75%
