I prefer VA's in this hemisphere so time zones line up better.

I am looking to leverage a non-QM loan product for my 4th purchase and I want to use a bank statement loan and I would prefer for the LTV to be about 90% (I heard such products are out there).

The sheer volume of money and investment flowing in all the northern New England states over the past couple years is unheard of and created a highly competitive marketplace of rentals with investment that do not appear to be slowing down, even given the rental rate’s dropping double digits over the past couple years.

Take that into account.I firmly believe no investor should invest until there's zero consumer debt, mortgage I prefer paid off too but I get why it's not the highest priority.

I went to Memphis a couple of weeks ago to visit with Kenny Shaw and some of his people and they showed me some of their projects in progress and gave a rundown on mine.

The posts above have some good insight and advice, and just would like to expand a couple of thoughts.1. 

I was actively searching a couple of years ago when I began considering them in addition to rentals.
