Lower your exposure, reduce your debt positions and be careful when leveraging to increase your asset base. 

Of course getting a home on MLS -through flat fee service - would have meant tons more exposure, calls, and appointments, but I work from home, and didn't really want tons of calls & appointments (flat fee to MLS would have been my next step if necessary).  

For that reason I want to steer you on a road that will at least minimize your set backs, and increase your exposure. 

M2Ms do not limit your exposure; in fact they are exposed to the tenant who may claim advance rent is "Unjust Enrichment".I battle with facts, words, and KNOWLEDGE.

For example there was lead based paint and they sue me for exposure?

When it comes to conventional financing (I'm referring to FNMA/FreddieMac, some institutions that retain the loan many have different rules) a few things you will run into, you can have as many financed properties and be able to refi your primary residence, but, when it comes to refinancing investment properties, if you have more than 10 financed properties, FNMA/Freddie will not purchase the loan and therefore you will be turned down, if you have fewer than 10 financed properties, some lenders may limit their exposure and limit the number of properties they will refinance for you and you may have to do some loans with one lender and some with another.There are some lenders lenders that will refinance your property even if you have over 10 financed properties, the only downside is that these loans will typically be at a higher rate than the conventional financing. 

Debt and risk go hand in hand and I can’t make blanket statements of what people *should* do without understanding their overall risk exposure and personal risk tolerance.As for the notion that the tenant pays the interest, I think that confuses the issue: the tenancy generates income, the property has expenses, one of which may be interest (and which may have tax advantages).

My “Why” for this is because I have personal exposure to all 3.

We usually do our exposures through live meetings.
