I've sold while in your shoes before, and I've also held with large negative CF.

@Jonathan Blanco, I'm and investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I've been on both sides of this conversation.I would look for a lender that (1) listens to you and understands your strategy and needs (hint: it's not always money), (2) has experience working with clients executing your strategy and brings more to the table than just cash - be it advice, relationships, deal-team partners, etc., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

I've listened to a lot of BP podcasts and other real estate youtubers, but most of those people invest in places where real estate prices are 3 or 4x what they are here.

Actual experience I'll listen to.

Also listen to them if it is difficult to get financing...they're telling you that your math may be off.

After many years of listening to BP/Real Estate Podcasts, reading, and building up my finances, I believe there’s no better time than now to finally jump into the real estate world.

Quote from @Susana Alcorta: Hello,I'm a long-time listener of the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast.

Been a listener of Bigger Pockets for while!

Coincidentally, I’m currently listening to the BP Real Estate podcast, Episode 1,054: The Expert Investor: Early Retirement is a Mistake, Rent Instead of Buying.

I'm not sure if you listen consistently to BP podcast, they actually just released an episode that would probably be useful!
