Self reliance! 

One thing to consider is trying to build the future home as self sufficient as possible looking into passive house or some similar build quality to minimize how much reliance you would have on the grid in general. 

To people offering less constructive advice and pandering to Ayn Rand-ian principles of self-reliance, hope you assume better intent from people seeking advice and/or a potential business opportunity in the future. 

One thing I love about both of the investing methods these two authors advocate is that it is not reliant on finding a one in a thousand deal, uncovering hidden seller motivations, making 100 offers to get one accepted, or a hidden reliance on continual price appreciation.

S & T Bank or Reliance both will do 80% LTV and 80% on cash out refi (yes, portfolio).

I think real estate investors, who by their nature seem to prefer control and self-reliance/education (hence the aversion to stock investing commonly seen), are not likely to recommend financial advisers.

Lenders are our partners and we need TRUST (certainty, confidence, protection, reliance). 

Your point was about BLIND reliance on experts, rather than gaining some familiarity before seeking them out.  

Crunch the numbers based on your specifics and I think you'll find you could do better with a different investment.If you're investing in solar to reduce reliance on the grid, that's a different story.
