Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Logan M. keep pushing your limits:) One home at a time!

Gonna push back on your assessment here. 

If you bought something today with 5% down, you will be way ahead of the game two years from now and that PMI cost won't matter.

I'm looking at fixer uppers that are considered livable (heat, plumbing, etc) and I think my DTI will be sufficient once I get renters on my current quadplex.Just trying to plan ahead, thanks!

I work in the tech industry, and there's a big push for people to return to office.

Even if it is, I would go ahead and list now.  

Newbie to real-state and looking to learn ahead of first rental we are planning to find/acquire in ~12-18mo. 

I ask this question because there are many markets that are growing in population and want to be a step ahead.

I try and push my clients a bit more on year end items from October on so January isn't a Poop show for all parties. 

Is there a business you can simply push up and increase revenue by a lot to produce the money you want to invest?
