The way I see it is 25% down out of state means $100k in down payment/closing cost to obtain turnkey property that gains equity similar to an IRA or 5% down managing a renovation in the property your living in which in turn pays yourself from the equity gains which allows you to get to multiple house hacks very fast. 

Just this year, I used that equity as down payments for multiple other buildings.

Bitcoin, not "crypto".Like Amazon, which is the first company to lose $1T  in market cap, now - or 12 - 24 months, probably a good buyI believe there's more volatility coming for everything,  so yes I'll be buying more btcAmazon has multiple business models that create revenue and profit. 

But what if you could do, as I have, multiple deals under 5 k and earn back that 5 k and 10K more each deal...and exponentially higher on each deal that is higher priced than that?

They are doing a similar thing in multiple cities, including OKC.

.-- But, what happens if the owner wants to drag out repairs with requests for multiple bids, takes weeks to review and approve those bids and then take even more time to send funding?

Hi @Ricky M. in reality, a realtor can help you market your property the right way and post on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for you and expose to lots of investors who are looking on there.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Also, be sure to consult a CPA about the timing of transitioning properties to an LLC to avoid potential complications with financing or taxes.Take time to compare multiple lenders and products that fit your strategy.

Of course, try to get multiple perspectives from different loan officers before committing.
