I try to speak his language.

That said, I highly recommend speaking with a local professional in the DFW area to get insights tailored to your specific goals.

I call them, they won’t speak to me about the loan at all BECAUSE ITS NOT IN MY NAME. 

There are of course some exceptions to this, but I am speaking more generally here.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

Based on speaking with them their, I paid a rather hefty fee to transfer my solo 401K to them and have it reinstated and the fee covered this plan for 6 years. 

Vanessa, If you choose the seller financed route, you could potentially continue investing under the bank's stringent debt-to-income radar, so to speak.

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Speak with a lender now to understand your options and start building a plan.
