Access to Cash Value: A properly structured permanent life insurance policy (like an IUL or whole life) can build cash value that you can borrow against for property acquisitions, renovations, or even as a safety net during market downturns. 2.

Get familiar with price points in your market and what looks like a good deal. 

Leverage your W-2 income for better loan terms, explore private/hard money for off-market deals, and network with investors to expand your deal flow.Good luck!

Lenders do not look at your personal income or debt and will use the current market rent or lease (up to 120% if the lease is significantly higher than market rent or vice versa) as qualifying income.

Try networking locally with HML's who know the market.
