If I wanted to get 100 doors in the next few years, I bet I could -- but you can bet many of those deals would be thin.

It might work for LTRs but not for STRs.Your best bet is to keep a good maintenance fund ready to go to cover repairs.The most important thing is regular maintenance.

Would be happy to chat to go into more details about subdivisons.All in all, I think a house hack in a good area of town is a great bet to get started.

Further, there are a wide spectrum of lenders that can range from very good to very bad among lenders that brand themselves as "Private Money" "Hard Money" or "Private Lenders"Your best bet is likely to follow reviews and like you've been doing now with partnerships that you trust, but your instinct is right to have relationships with multiple lenders and options. 

That’s the best bet.

If I'm on a job for some reason; and there's something that needs done that needs some muscle, you can bet I'm not opposed to asking a man for help. 

The safer play is to use financing with healthy contingent reserves built into the loan.The other reason why I recommend using financing (and believe this is more important) is the banking relationships you will build through the process.

I believe we resolved the issue, but want to be on the safer side.

I've found some lenders that will go up to 80% sometimes, but I think your best bet might be a government-backed loan if you want such a high LTV ratio.

Too many variables between now and then but that's a safer time period to look at this differently.
