We are a regional lender that offers this in our 10 state footprint but there are certainly other options as well. 

Investor savvy contract aren't in abundance in my region, so we learned the hard way with having to hire and fire many.

LO and SLO are highly regional  investment schemes.. in some regions it will work in todays market even  in others its a long shot at best.. and what I see is you run into a lot of properties that sellers are just trying to unload on folks and there is marginal to no TRUE equity.. which in my mind is not the way to invest..  

Last I checked with Guild Mortgage, Regional Bank, they were 70%.

I’d recommend staying which city/town you are located in, because is is very region specific. 

The city had over 2 million residents at its peak, so there is still a lot of existing housing stock that could be improved.To reiterate, I am referring to the city and region as a whole. 

I have a lot of experience with the Atlanta market (I have done all of the above, and now own 10 rentals in the region).

@Todd Ortscheid - All of our local and regional banks will lend at under $50K for invesmtent property for commercial - not Freddie/Fannie loans.

It just SEEMS that Zillow gets the most interest-maybe that varies regionally or locally???

I am currently working on building my portfolio in Ottawa and the surrounding capital region.
