Oh, those older houses! 

@Patrick Roberts & @Tim Delaney- which lenders/ loan types are good for 80%?

I've never done any Sacramento STR loans and only been hit up for one potential financing opportunity there.

Realtor – Someone that understands what an investor is looking for, knows the investing landscape, areas to invest, and is willing/able to show lots of houses before the right purchase is made.3.

What if I told you that you could purchase your house by only paying for 20% of the property value?

I am specifically looking in Essex county, MA because I want to house back close enough to my current W-2 job.

I went from growing up in a hut in Vietnam and spending my early years in Section 8 housing in the U.S. to now owning four cash-flowing properties (8 units) across three states.

I first started out in Real Estate by house hacking in college. 

Section 8 may seem like a home run but I've seen houses destroyed in a years time, I would steer clear. 

There's no current loan on it right now.
