--------------------------------------Context:-My wife and I file taxes jointly and own 4 long term rentals in NJ and 3 rentals in FL (1 long term, 2 short/medium term).

I wouldnt, so long as you have your requirements laid out - they should be able to know if it is even worth applying.

Prices seem very high and build times very long.  

This is a significant down side to me as a long term investor as it basically wipes out your cash flow. 

Are you looking for a long term rental? 

It often takes new organizations similarly long times to get that sort of information.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

I know it's not as flexible as a HELOC but as long as your deal flow is good and the tenants are paying the mortgage you won't come out of pocket for it. 

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business.
