Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

Hi there!

Where I see the biggest pitfall however is, in practice, you may run into trouble with the appraiser on the new property re-fi if you're not doing any improvements.

@Angela Simon, If it wasn't your son there is a small chance that your accountant would let you purchase the 50% of the property you don't own. 

🌟 There are definitely people in the Milwaukee area, including Bay View, who rent out rooms on Airbnb.

Has any one done any business with Ramm financial?

My wife and I are limited on funds, but what I've been hearing on podcasts and YouTube videos about Repository Sales seems promising.

I am sure that there are folks out there with banking relationships where the banker would require zero down.

If the loan amount you are looking for is small relative to the value of the first and the second property combined, they are very well secured on a LTV%; ask for a 1% point lower rate.If you don't want to Cross Collateralize, do you have any CD's or MM you can transfer to this bank as collateral. 

Also, I think that the members who post and reply the most do so not because they want to find customers for whatever they have to sell or get any sort of profit but first and foremost because they want to give back and help.
