Make sure you buy it low enough to make it worth the trouble.

More doors means less vacancies and it might motivate you to save up and buy a new SFR when you are ready to settle down.

OK so buy and hold fund then.. gothca.. 

Groovy @Stephanie Medina good luck and keep us posted on your progress.These sorts of things are problems that no one really things about when buying a property and it is something that should be in their mind.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

You may recoup the money, but there's also a good chance you'll lose some.

-The right “how” will attract the right “who” and discourage and weed out the wrong “who”.Me and my property management team developed the a 40-Point Complete Household System to not leave the “how” to chance.

I want to minimize my leverage as much as I can for my first one, just to give me the best chance of success.Got it, @Geoff Engel!

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Mark Daniels: I know in residential lending you can get a HELOC to borrow a down payment to buy another property.

Sub2 is a risky strategy for a long term buy and hold as the longer the deal structure stays in place, the higher the chance that issues will arise (like issues with the loan servicer, insurance, seller filing for bankruptcy, seller dying, seller realizing their DTI ratio and ability to buy their next property is negatively effected and becoming upset about it like in your case, due on sale clause being called, etc.).
