That's $1,600 per month plus to pay debt, plus at least $400 in taxes and insurance.

We offer 100% financing on both purchase and rehab (loan size up to 75% ARV) but only in 10 states.So if the location and the numbers are right, you can be as low as 0% down.Yes, this kind of leverage does exist on the short-term purchase and rehab loan, and for reasonable terms. 

I came across one of these loan agreements online somewhere a few months ago, can't recall where I found it but it was clear in reading the loan agreement there was no language referencing the loan actually encumbering real property, it was just an unsecured loan.  

Quote from @Adam York: Contact your insurance provider and let them know you intend to rent out the home.

Hi Hazel, I work with a lot of investor clients from OOS and have carefully vetted general contractors that are licensed, bonded, and insured and do great quality of work.

Personally speaking, from an investment broker and investor standpoint, I feel single family investing is the riskiest in some investment ways in comparison to larger investments due to the fact that it only takes 1 repair or tax/insurance hike to put you under or lose all income.

What loans are recommended?

A real basic guess is 30 houses each cashflowing $1,000/month.In Metro Detroit, this means $1500+ in rent, with the difference convering taxes, insurance, maintenance and vacancy - NO MORTGAGE!

Don't let your loan box you in2.
