I'm an aspiring investor and looking to acquire my first investment property.

My question is how do I avoid triggering the due on sale clause in the mortgage when the seller transfers the deed to my name?

In some states all liens transfer to the high bidder at the sale. 

You can also diversify and acquire multiple asset types.

I’m looking for a hard money loan to acquire an RV park alongside seller financing and was looking at this company.

Acquiring pre-existing rental portfolios?

Quote from @Charles Kannon: I lived in my home in South Carolina as my principal residence for all of the last 10 yrs, moved, then sold with owner-financing. 3.5 yrs later after sale, the buyer re-sells the home and sends me full loan payoff.

If you’re worried about high down payment costs, there are plenty of deals right here in Birmingham (or elsewhere in Alabama) where you can acquire a rent-ready, turnkey single-family property for between $120,000 and $200,000 or so.

I’ve recently paid off some debt and am earning a decent income, but my savings are still modest and not yet substantial.My plan is to use an FHA loan to acquire a decent property, claim it as my primary residence for a year, and then either sell it for a profit or potentially rent it out.

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate).
