A little background: Feel free to scroll down for the main reason of this post...I started out in 2011 trying everything to make my start in real estate but was not successful until 2015 when we purchased our first duplex in Fresno CA.

At this time in the cycle there is just more demand than supply.

It sounds like you are trying to buy a second property with less of a downpayment than 20 percent.
