I have put better systems in place after reading  Brandon Turners book on managing rental property's, which has given me the confidence to dive into multifamily. 

I received wrong information from people in the Portugal RE industry before so I'm not super confident the person I talked to is correct I'm just trying to get more data points.In case it's useful for others these are some other bits of info I've learnedRefinancing is possible but it is more expensive than conventional (usually the spread is 1-2% higher) and it is necessary to explain to the bank what will be done with the money.It is not necessary to wait to own the property for a certain time to obtain mortgage credit.

I'm not confident that a seller financing offer will be accepted enough to be really understood without some preparation. 

Plus, it gives you a chance to learn the ins and outs of property management on a smaller scale, which can be a huge confidence boost as you grow your portfolio.Best,Lei

I am fairly confident Tatum McDaniel at Jacksboro National Bank said they can, but I believe she said 25% equity must remain.

This will help you become more confident and attractive as a potential partner.Remember, building relationships and trust takes time, so be patient and persistent.If you have any more specific questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask.

Since you've already thoroughly researched property values in the neighborhood, you can be confident that it should appraise for $300,000, allowing you to take a loan of $200,000 (or more) against the property. 

There are tons of ways to invest, but finding how to do it that suits YOU will help foster that passion and growth.
