Super easy and I never had to meet him. 

Good luck with getting this tenant to accept higher rent, because you've trained your tenant to think they have a "mortgage payment" that never goes up!

.: There are sources to obtain the financing you want to buy more property.

Is Real Estate Bees a legitimate and good source for leads? 

Another nice bonus of using this as a funding source is no closing costs, big help on the front end.Obviously, if all goes relatively well, the plan would be to hold these properties as rentals and refi at some point down the road when rates on mortgages drops back down a bit, whenever that may be.

It would be like if someone prepared to sell by painting to create fresh visual interest, but chose fuscia and lime green...those colors would certainly catch the eye but I'd never claim that they overdid the curb appeal by painting with too much visual interest.

On balance I have made way, way more money from appreciation that I ever did from cash flow.To me the most important consideration is to always have money or access to money, never be forced to sell.

Let me know how it works out with them, wondering if they are a reliable source.

If you are having trouble sourcing either over a years-long period I agree selling makes the most sense.

But unless you take a chance you'll never know.Some basics on the home.
