It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further. 

I went through someone else last year which has all of my previous rental property information on it and nothing has changed except now I have a child.

I should note that this may be considered manufactured spending To your last point of the gifts funds....Per Fannie and Freddie guidelines, lenders can't allow gift funds on investment properties.

Any realtors / property managers / contractors / wholesalers please connect with me!

For a 3/2/1 of 1200 sq ft, you can easily rent it for 1650 which is what I did last week for a lease break out and had a tenant move in 3 days after the vacancy.

Just last year I expanded my property portfolio in California which now includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and Kern counties.

Prior to my clients' closings (rental properties in 2 states) in the last 6 months, I worked with IPX to prepare for DST investments.

An appraiser likely isn't going to spend time giving you much feedback in advance (unless you have a connection or they are super slow).   

And technology aside, this business hasn't changed much in the last 20 years.

For example, if you are doing a bathroom over and the window and window trim has lead paint underneath, it is only a few hundred bucks to replace that window and trim in connection with the rehab.
