I found a great deal, cash flowing for $800-900/month. But then I found out the seller has another property for sale ACROSS THE STREET! That home would cash flow $1000-1100/month. 

How do I purchase both without freaking out the banks/lenders and losing the deal due to time with the first home? I was thinking conventional loan at 5% down on the first home and hard-money on the second right after closing the first.

What's up BiggerPockets community. My name is Christian and I am just starting out my REI journey.

Background: While serving in the Marine Corps I found myself mentoring my fellow Marines understand personal finance and credit. I was excited to assist the next family in need of finance literacy and goal setting. Currently, I work a 9-5 job as a Technician but my true passion lies in helping families overcome financial hardship; which is why I created my website. 

I can now create "Worlds of Personal Finance" and progressive levels to better understand each major topic. The more I read about PF, the more Real Estate and Investing are brought up. Hopefully sooner than later, I will create a "World of Real Estate", outlining the basics to first-time homebuyers (including how to finance them, costs to look out for, potential dangers, and great benefits in owning a home).

I currently own 1 home and planning to house hack it. Everyday, I quickly analyze a few homes in my area to catch a great deal. When I found BP, I was amazed by the tools and education freely offered. I hope to you connect with awesome people such as yourself and help each other grow in REI understanding. Glad to be here. Now lets hustle get out there and win! God Bless.
