Ask your employer if you can have your pay split up into three deposits, one to investments savings, one to your checking account for personal use on a daily basis, and one to an emergency account you can tap into so you don't have to tap into your investment savings.

Be sure to: call & verify employment references, request pay stubs to confirm income & check rental history by contacting the previous landlords.Keep the momentum going!

If it's already turnkey that means you're paying higher rates than necessary when you could put 20% down and get a DSCR loan with lower rates and fees. 

All the add-ons are a la carte so you can definitely get a lot of value based on what you need.One thing I personally don't like is that when tenants pay rent, they are charged $1 per transaction for ACH use.

Anthony, welcome aboard.. it’s always exciting to see new folks exploring the world of real estate investing!

my condolences on your recent lost.there are a few ways you can do this, as mentioned above you can take a heloc on your primary residence which will give you a second mortgage, first mortgage payment wont be impacted. you can do cash out refinance which will give you one mortgage and payment. it will pay the old mortgage and give you money in your pocket to pay for the rehab.or you can do a renovation refinance which is similar to cash out refinance but we would contractor involved  as part of the refinancing and they are paid through the loan

The cost effective way starting is partner with an established wholesaler and they provide people to reach out to or pay for lists and do cold calling/door knocking yourself. 

They pay rent before the due date, clean the property after every client, and if something breaks they usually repair it before I'm aware because their clients will give them bad ratings.

@Simon Packman Not sure where you’re located but I have Vermont Mutual in Northern New England for most of my properties and the most I’m paying for any of them is around $4400.
