Been investing here for 9 years.

Can you help me evaluate an investment case?

Quote from @Akshay Kumar: Hello everyone, I am a new investor and looking for advice on my first investment property.

That is tight leverage for an investment 2nd position loan.A private investor might be willing to do it, it's not going to be cheap at all & will be short-term money & will not be a line of credit to take out at your liking.What is your rate on the 1st?

Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

After that initial down payment, the bank will basically be financing your investments.

However, what is far more important for financial freedom is the location/city where you invest.The city where you invest is far more important than the current interest rate.

With a 9-5 job too busy to catch a breather, being that it will be my first rental property would you recommend finding a property management company to oversee the investment property OR create a profile on a property management platform, I am thinking about Avail unless there is a better platform, to collect rent and hire specialist as issues arise from tenants?

For context, I'm from Edmonton, and have been in investing in Alberta for last 11 years, and in Texas the last 1.5 years.

If you are investing out of state, then do you already have a good property manager lined up?
