Hello BPers, So I was out and about today and like always I was keeping a keen eye out for properties that look distressed.

I'm just not to keen on giving someone more information than they need, especially when it sounds like they don't even have any idea why they need the information.

If the town/area is depressed because jobs/people have left I wouldn't be so keen.

Generally with rental properties they aren't too keen on going above 75-80% LTV and it's pretty difficult to get one to go as high as 90% let alone 100%.

We are keen to start investing in other, probably multi-family, real estate.Also, we are considering buying an inexpensive used car or two on financing (Crazy I know, but change of employment means losing a company car for her, and my old VW is a reliability disaster and IRR shows it is a major liability). 

I'm not keen on selling and would wait at least 6 months to avoid the cap gains but I'd like to start thinking about my next move.If I sell I'd probably put it into the Tampa, FL market where I'm doing great cashflow and prices are still low.I'm interested to hear some thoughts.

Several companies in the area said they wouldn't take any more clients (probably meaning they can't rent out what they've already got).I'm sure there are good deals out there, but you've got to wonder "if this is such a home-run deal, why is this guy so keen on unloading it?"

I am very new to this website and I am very keen to learn about real estate and profiting off of house-flipping. 

But I am keen to get started in real estate and wanted to know if there are options to buy rentals that won't mess up our credit or borrowing power.

I know I am not the only guy who has a keen eye for details!
