This is with one of the most prestigious dealerships in Texas.

With limited time I have in US, I have some financial targets to meet, one being scale and increase my net worth.

Movement Bank, a sister company to the one I work for (Movement Mortgage) is great as well.

@Josh Otero some ideas:1) Key ALL the locks on each SFR to one key, including garage.- We used to buy locks at Home Depot and just swap handsets, but now use a locksmith for same cost.2) Get rid of handset locks (use passage knobs) and only use deadbolts.- Two locks on a door really don't provide any additional security.- Cheaper as only have to rekey/replace deadbolts.- Tenants can't lock keys in their home.3) Our locksmith created a Master Key system with 10 key option.- One master key opens every door- We go 3 levels under our master, so we can submaster 2-4 unit houses and apartment buildings- Don't need a costly and difficult to secure & track keybox.

One they took 6 months to do! 

Still, I think you'd find it difficult to find one that would be a good long-term investment unless you had another ~20-30 years to go, it's at least cash neutral, and you don't plan to hold it too long (to avoid too much investment loss and before you get to the point where it's unsellable because of too few years left); that's another way of saying that maybe it suits your cash needs in the near-term or is at least less of a pill to swallow than other options until you find something that's more of a sensible long-term play

We work with one lender that will doa  2nd up to 60% LTV but its a loan not a revolving / open ended line of credit. 

First time was when my loan was “killed” by one of the big banks 8 days before my closing.

If I was in your shoes I would buy a place, single familt, 2,3, or 4 untis, and occupy one and use my VA 100% financed zero down entitlement.

One of the biggest hurdles for new investors?
