If you’re reading this as a new investor, I hope it serves as a more in-depth analysis of what a deal actually looks like.

Hi guys,I have a question about financing...Just considering options... say your wife has a W2 income from her job and you have a W2 income from your own S-Corp(and your business has been around for at least 10 years but with fluctuating W2 income) and then your wife considers taking a break from her W2 income to recover thoroughly from her illness... outside of the W2 income we do have $30k-$40k cashflow from existing rentals.How hard would it be for you to get conventional financing with this scenario (losing a more consistent W2 income - even though her W2 is lower than yours) to finance our SFHs purchases?

But I think RE is a more emotional game for most people (even after mastering how to separate your emotions from the deal) So I think that's the big point that was missed.

This is why people post and ask others to PM if they want to connect and possibly work together.Maybe @Mindy Jensen can give a more concise answer. 

Contact me if you're interested and I can provide a more detailed overview of your options and what you can expect. 

Tuesday I have contractors coming to give bids on the rehab, to give me a more accurate rehab cost before I make my offer.

When that 0% interest rate period runs out, usually that cost of capital becomes VERY VERY expensive (15+ %)A more commonly used method would be to get a private loan on a note from a friend or family member.  

In a more general sense just getting started is the biggest hurdle.

The other is probably a more value add play as the property has significant deferred cap expense and maintenance and is in an OK area (C class area).  

I believe the possibility of finding deals and having a more respected credibility is broadened and enhanced by using the internet.
