HMLs tend to frown on the down payment being borrowed. 

SCENARIO: Borrower calls me from my website after doing an internet search on Stated Income ALT loan programs for Self Employed borrowers.  

Since then, my train has stopped.

If you want to take the risk, you can always borrow against your property to buy another.

There is a refi program that allows borrowers to cash out their equity for solar panels with special guidelines but i can't find an outlet/lender to broker to. 

Given the right purchase price (BIGGEST MUST HAVE) and a very solid idea of repairs since I will have inspected before, I could raise/beg/borrow/steal the repair funds especially since the expected return range would be much clearer by that point.  

@Daniel Pitta In my opinion Background checks are the number one best way to vet a prospective tenant.Many things fall under background checks like calling their employer and previous landlords.Also I know some PM's that like to sneak and peak in their car and see if is junky, if so they is likely how they will treat your property.Also these same people will find an excuse to stop by their current residence and look in the door for the same reason.W-2 paycheck verification.No evictions in last 5 years.Tenants make 3x the rent.If they can't come up with all move in money don't rent to them.They ones that beg and plead for you to rent to them you should run from.Make sure they have stable employment - same job or in same field for 2 years or longer.Get a larger deposit than 1 months rent to encourage them to give you proper notice when they move and that they don't try and use deposit as rent when they move out and that they also leave your property in good condition.

One problem I could see with this is that depending on how much longer you plan to move around you could reach your limit for being able to borrow for more properties and end up renting where you are stationed instead of owning.

It is really a one-stop shop for knowledge and connecting with others with similar aspirations. 

You: maximize your income while borrowing on one project to finance the next.
