As the mortgage financing industry is constantly changing and so are certain requirements, can anyone share what the lowest down payment percentage they needed for an investment property was?

So from this I've learned that no matter how comfortable I get with a contractor, I need to constantly be bidding out jobs (admittedly I was getting lazy on this part) and constantly on the worksite monitoring quality. 

(Constantly asking me to pay my rent early because "The electricity will get shut off if I don't make a payment today!"...

These are my influnces for wanting to learn how to invest.Why I'm hereAfter obsessing over the subject for the past two years I've concluded that flexibility is gained through having multiple streams of income, but that caused me to hit my current roadblock: time.

Keep up the good work of the constant search as you have over the past year.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.I run a small analytics consulting business in Boston, and develop data science courses for several online education platforms.I'm interested in real estate investing as a means of diversifying my portfolio and providing additional streams of passive income.

I'm still here in the Tampa - St. pete market, constantly on the hunt for good deals.... :-) I'm looking for feedback regarding buying property with Code Violation liens in place from the city, for things like mowing the grass, clearing debris, demolishing a dilapidated and abandoned structure.

I'm a very high energy type of person so I love to be on the go all the time, yet I'm constantly paralyzed by these fears that have been holding me back.

Probably more profit in the alternate strategies you've been pursuing, but a steadier side income stream may be desirable ...

My question is; if you are constantly looking for new contractors because the cheap ones are always screwing up, maybe there is a correlation there.
