10% down 2nd home loan and savings from the proceeds of already owned STR's.

We’ve been looking at cities like Fullerton, Cypress, Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin, but we’re staying away from LA County and Santa Ana due to rental restrictions.A little about us:I’m 30, my wife is 28, and neither of us has owned property before.

Use an agent to help you get qualified tenants and documentation in order.

Hi everyone,I graduated college a few months ago in Boston and tried to start my own business but it didn't workout and so I focused on Real Estate instead and passed my NV License.

It's tough to work with corporate seller's.However, there is a TON of investable inventory in the Atlanta market right now that is institutionally owned where there process is very ridged.

I would also be careful talking to property managers - they may have no problem telling about "other" buildings, but change of ownership in their own building is a threat to their livelihood.

i work with agents, PMs, deal finders, lender, etc. all the time.  

My friend also owned a rental property in the same community so I figured it would do well.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

.: I would go HELOC for sure that would be best as others were saying the lower cost for the money changes between paying a higher rate for a personal line and typically personal lines they want a higher monthly charge as well independent from the interest rate.
