What I’d like to suggest is to reach out as many as you can in finding a lender and do due diligence on them.

If you have tenants who have submitted a declaration, it’s important to encourage tenants to continue to communicate with you if their situation changes, as well as encourage them to continue to pay what they can in rent.

What looks good on an excel spreadsheet often can in reality  prove to be someone else's nightmare that they managed to offload on (an unsuspecting) you. 

All of us also know we are operating under pretty slim margins as is and aren’t all fat cats counting our stacks but that is how we are viewed by many.  

While you're waiting for your credit score to slowly climb to acceptable levels, learn everything you can in a broad sense, then figure out where you want to concentrate, then concentrate on that area with LASER FOCUS.Bottom line, nobody can tell you what to do with some arbitrary sum of money.

There are certainly properties that can cash flow here but not the way properties can in other cities around the country.

(besides their Lead laws) are the laws regarding what's considered as 'timely rent' (30 days) and that I can't collect a 2nd month for security deposit (like I can in Connecticut for anyone under the age of 62). 

You should be surrounding yourself with the best and most experienced people you can in this business.

I'm still in the education phase of my plan/journey learning everything I can in every way I can and I learned having/building a team is very important and can help you go very far but in the beginning it's hard to build a team with no money or experience.

I’ve got cash for a down payment but without being able to get that money back out like you can in a brrrr it would be a very long time before I can buy my second property.
