@Carlann Mckenna As Thomas mentioned, take the time to improve your credit score first. 

If you are going to leverage it and get any financing, traditional  lenders like to see 6 months PITI in the bank for each property.When I acquire a property I plan to finish in the first 6 months any costs to rehab or improve the property.

The pitch sounds good: I can rent out some vacant land for camp spots with essentially no improvements, and they cover the rest, and I keep 90% of the revenue.

I can specifically remember a 4-plex I seriously looked at buying in Dover because the numbers were close to what I would want and I anticipated being able to improve the operation, therefore improving the NOI.

Feel free chime in with ideas that we can implement to improve out meetup.Hope to see you all there!
