For example, using 70-80% leverage could preserve your cash for more deals while maintaining strong returns.A blended approach might work: pay cash for smaller deals to avoid delays and borrow on more significant properties to spread risk.

Homes are affordable and we're seeing homebuyers enter the market with a lot of assistance available from the city.I’ve been investing in Detroit since 2019 while living in California and own 12 doors.

There are systems and software out there that can assist with key word management and campaigns etc. but they are not cheap. 

However, these programs typically qualifies borrowers based on their income, such as tax returns.The DSCR would be a good option considering you and your husband are entrepreneurs and the tax returns don't look good on paper.

Hopefully, you find it helpful and qualifies us to assist you with your goals:)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Also, conventional lending will NOT allow you to get gift funds OR borrow unsecured funds to help fund a down payment on an investment property.

Quote from @V.G Jason: I don't understand borrowing money to borrow money.Especially in this environment, why take that risk?

Im not handy with tools, so I was thinking maybe assistant property manager or something logistical perhaps?

Outsource tasks like admin work or cold calling to virtual assistants (VAs) to free up your time for more important tasks.3.

We've sold 65+ homes and the biggest request we get from our Buyers is help with closing costs.Most of our deals we're providing anywhere between $5K-$10K to help Buyers offset the cash requirement to purchase a home.Even in today’s "high" interest rate environment, many Buyers prioritize closing cost assistance over an interest rate buydown.
