. $80k first position plus $20k second position on a $100k property would be 100% CLTV.The only 100% CLTV out there is down payment assistance programs for "moderate to low income" FTHB, which just for laughs is defined in the SF East Bay Area as less than $204k/yr at this point.

I invest in residential real estate as well and know that is what BP is for, but I thought there may be members with expertise to weigh in on this issue as well.I look forward to the discussion and if a moderator feels that this discussion would fit better in another area of the forums, please feel free to move it.

I then plan to use savings and any equity in my primary residence through a heloc or otherwise to continue to fund more multifamily (or possibly other endeavors) at a moderate/conservative rate, all while the investment properties pay themselves down where I will either continue to live off of the higher cash flow once they're payed off or sell some or maybe something else.   

My ultimate goal is to maintain a moderate lifestyle through passive income through rental properties and as a hard money provider.

I really want to grow within a moderate risk tolerance, where debts are covered and there is still positive cashflow even at the worst of times. 

It's a modest start: a $50k condominium that we purchased for cash in need of only moderate cosmetics.

Btw, BP moderators, I see very few people using the quote feature in their posts anymore since making the site more advertiser-friendly.

But as a moderator, he can wipe your post so that your beating him to the greeting dispappears .. not that he would.

They both signed on the lease, which we thought gave us better than average security, but their tenantship turned out to be a moderate disaster.
