You can put as little as 3-5% down and still legitimately claim the property as a primary residence which gets you better terms. 

In my experience, the good ones are expensive, typically require a subscription, and sometimes they even do a physical inspection of your premises to verify it is a legitimate person / business in US.

Maybe if I was younger it would make more sense, but staying with the method I've used over the last 10 years will only become more refined and efficient.

You are interested in a certain market to use the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) method to purchase property.To find these properties, you asked how many Realtors you would contact in that area.Honestly, most Realtors do not speak investor language and are not investors themselves.

But why would that make them want to use this financing method?

My answer, yes I currently am buying a $165,000 property in Phoenix (not listed on the MLS) using one of my methods to find, using only $5,871 plus closing costs of my money.

We develop and consult new developers through the full cycle of development.Financing differs from project to project based on your equity, land cost, construction methods, etc.

Using this method, we will have our home paid off in about 2 more years AND will have a massive HELOC we can use to scale even more. wht are you going to do after the mortgage is paid-off ?

Are there any particular investing strategies or methods you’re leaning toward?

Right now, the majority of lenders are hitting DSCR loans hard, which is a strong indicator that the BRRRR method is still going strong, even in a higher-rate environment.We always say, “Date the rate, marry the property,” meaning interest rates will fluctuate, but the right deal will always make sense long-term.
