We left a lot of money on the table in unpaid rent, but made out just fine.

My larger houses (with 4-9 beds in them) get one big jumbo pack of acceptable lower quality t.p. and I set it on the dining table along with towels and soap. 

Meanwhile the property own has already sold to another investor because he came to the table with hard money and no fussing. 

He wants me to bring something to the table, and since I am living on a VA check and have no money, I reached out to another investor.

I do wish I could adjust the map/table view percentages a little but other than that haven't found much to complain about so far.

You may or may not be able to get it, but it's valuable to at least know what "perfect" looks like in this situation.Once we get some of these answers out on the table, we will have more to work with and try to solve the puzzle!

@Jared Bouzek I worked under the table doing grunt work for a guy who owns some rental property down here for a day if that counts!

Just curious is all, it might be worth bringing some cash to the refi table if you're close to having 20% equity in your current home.By the way what type of loan product are you using to purchase your new primary residence?

Also, with FHA, the more units, the higher the borrowing limit (here's the table).  

You are not going to be able to buy a QUAD priced at $160K if they only lend you $100K.If you go to larger multi-family unit dwelling you would be a passive investor as you are a beginner you don't bring much value to the table apart from a keen sense to learn REI.
