There may be someone(s) out there that is interested in part of the deal and maybe they provide part of the down payment so you can get in there without stretching yourself too thin. 

It sounds like this 15% increase can be stretched out over three years, but why would a landlord do that?

I can stretch out $100k on several rental properties?

Rent prices will often still be high enough that renters will continue to be stretched thin, because that's just par for the course in how the landlord game works. 

I know Brandon’s book says $150 or more cash return per door is average, it might be a stretch im thinking to exceed $650.

Can you go to a slightly worse location to stretch your dollars further, and perhaps into a multifamily unit?

Putting 25% down for the property is going to stretch me a little bit, and wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences/advice on how to fund the deal with leaving more cash on hand.

@Austin BrightMight also look for SFH near universities and rent by the room. 4+ br or larger square footage with opportunities to add beds200k won’t stretch far near TCU in Fort Worth, but would go a lot farther near UTA in Arlington.

Leveraging financing was key for me to quickly amass properties and stretch the cash I was able to invest. 

I work in Andover and being that I’m a current renter I’d like to leverage my living situation and make my first investment an owner occupied property...therefore South of Boston is a bit of a stretch right now.Are you finding most of your deals through the MLS?
