I also have no interest in being in the car wash business, or the laundry business, or the AirBnB business, things like that which seem to appeal to a good number of people, but not me.I like to KISS, and just focus on market rate rentals, 12 to 18 month leases.

Thanks in advance, look forward to being a part of the BiggerPockets community.

I was wondering if anyone else in the BP community has used this company for their investment lending.I cannot achieve another low-money down loan until the end of 2024 when the seasoning period of my FHA loan runs out, so I'm looking for other alternatives.Thank you for any help! 

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's. 

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

My local community bank that I had a relationship established with helped me finance this deal.

What approach is correct?

That’s what this community is for.

I have a weekend cabin in the area and explore the surrounding communities.

For my first investment, I'm looking for a safer investment with a goal to at least break even in 12 months and possibly focus on learning long term cash flow and appreciation.
