In general, however, yes you can keep doing 5% down conventional on SFRs over and over and over again every >12 months, if I'm making up assumptions that make that work, and "slow growth" up an empire that way, and in theory you could keep doing this even past the Fannie cap of 10 since we're only talking about owner occ 12 month occupancy promise loans each time.

Currently looking for an investor friendly title company to use in the Inland Empire area.

Hello all!I am completely new to the business and have found some great investment properties near me. I am still trying to work out a deal with a lender but will definitely be needing some assistance with a contracto...

Then, once you have more experience being a landlord and you have saved up more money, go buy more rental properties and start building your real estate empire, one property at a time. 

Please be very cautious of any anecdotal evidence you receive...I know folks are well intentioned, but have no empirical data or findings to support claims.

I want to build generational wealth for my family, own a real estate empire on the forbes list, and help reduce poverty around the world. 

Would you be able to refer me to someone in the Inland Empire area?

You can rinse and repeat at that point or look to other markets to expand your empire. 

I would highly suggest you take a look at coming to the next meet up for the Inland Empire Real Estate Investment Club.
