My only "plan" was to continue to buy homes once I could save enough for down payment/closing costs and lease them out hoping to cover the mortgage and still make a little monthly income ($150 - $250 minimum). 

I help and show other people how to create streams of income so they can feel better about their finances.

These investments are typically more for the stable income they provide.

If you do not qualify for traditional lenders due to factors such as debt-to-income (DTI), too many loans outstanding, or poor credit, you can also look into online private lenders.

I would normally put their T12 income over our  yr 1 expenses, but that would likely be a negative cap rate.
