After putting about $50k into the property,  I’m just about $25k from meeting my completion goal that includes stucco, drywall, and siding.

If you can swing it, increasing your down payment to 25% or more might help boost your cash flow and make your investment even more sustainable.Your long-term goal of buying and holding, with a target of 20 properties, is definitely a winning strategy.

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

Let's connect, I'd love to hear more about your goals for your first deal!

Available terms, interest rates, overall goals should determine how much you want to finance on properties. 

A long term approach is always the goal when looking at any buy and hold deal IMO.

That is probably a good start to setting the goals you need to achieve to make the dream happen.

For example funding rehab with the goal of a quick refi to pay off the heloc.

Use this meeting to gather their perspective on the property and understand their goals before making any offers.Keep It Informal Initially: Avoid jumping straight into specifics about pricing or terms.

My long-term goal would be investing in large scale hotels, I know I know, that's quite ambitious, but I don't mind starting small and working my way up there, as long as I start from somewhere!
