They also want a priority lien on the property.It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

So if you are not cash flowing and there isn’t appreciation then the only advantage you are getting is debt pay down.

You do sound a little bit like "the @sshole" but I'll forgive it. ;).

Most of our clients raise capital as equity vs debt, but both are done.

I've done a lot of DTS marketing and found that almost all my leads were either tire kickers or if they actually wanted to sell, the property had so many entanglements (multiple family members involved, tons of debt on it, municipal liens, etc.) it wouldn't even be worth it.

NO debt NO debt NO debt on rentals is the way to go as you mature in age as an investors.

Everything you said is exactly why-- debt levels, market demand, associated costs(taxes & insurance).

For example a 25 y o applicant who has used credit minimally and has an unpaid bill of $50 in collections from when they switched phone carriers may have a low score, but the only negative on their credit is this one SMALL $50 debt.

You will quickly find out about debt to income requirements on purchases.. where you will be "Ok , I want to buy another / bigger one" and your lender will be like - "You have too much debt - we aren't going to loan you anything else right now."
