In the past I have taken out a HELOC, used that as the down payment for the next property then paid off the HELOC over time.

The days of using someone's "market rent" estimate for vacant units are past, I believe.You will not be able to lock a reasonable rate for longer than 7 yrs generally, and most limit the fixed term to 3-5 yrs.If you're relatively inexperienced, they'll be looking more at you personally, so your job income, credit score, and financial statement position will be more important.

In the past I have bought a $3000 dollar mule sight unseen, and she was 10 times better than the 3 mules I bought that I did see.
