Although I saved 20-30k by doing everything myself and learned a ton in the process, doing that sucked up all my time and potentially stopped me from buying multiple multis last year.

Also for conventional financing, the DP can't be borrowed.

Borrow the money interest free and compound on.

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

The junk removal company started the job but stopped when they noticed bedbugs on mattresses.

The management company stopped sending statements and stopped paying me rent at some point. 

@Brett Riemensniderif you use a HELOC for the down payment + financing for the rest that is VERY expensive borrowing. 

what you're proposing is, again, borrowing 100%.

The signing parties are "stopped" from saying anything different after they sign the letter.Each Tenant Estoppel Letter states the attached copy of the tenant lease is accurate and was signed by the tenant, there are no other written or verbal agreements, the tenant has paid rent through a certain date, and there is no prepaid rent other than the current month.

Eventually, we did get tired of being landlords, and as our children came along and started growing up, we stopped doing it.
