If you own ten doors and six aren't cash-flowing, why do you want to hold on to them if there isn't overwhelming appreciation coming?

Much more than a forum answer post can hold. 

Those willing to go beyond that could be good partners for real estate investors.Traditional banks/Local Banks and non-bank lenders - If they are a portfolio lender, meaning they actually hold on to the loan and don't just collect your payment, then they have the ability to be flexible.

The bank will put a hold on them, so you can't just draw them out, so don't plan to need them for a while.This will cost you an appraisal on both properties to be performed by that lender. 

Looking to do my first house hack, along with getting into more buy and holds.

What is currently holding you back from other markets? 

Long term hold, with buyer planning on carrying existing financing to term without the ability to quickly cure default — terrible strategy with huge risk for both parties.   

Areas in PG County Maryland or West Virginia, for example, might offer better opportunities for cash flow with a smaller down payment.That said, if you’re willing to hold long-term, Northern VA can be a fantastic place to invest.

Now there is a whole array of ways this could be done, I'm not gonna run down that rabbit hold but fact is doing it all 100% on your capital alone is the hardest longest road.

I'm wholesaling and looking for seller financing deals to hold as rentals.
