But yes, you should consult with an attorney now, before you end up in court against a tenant with legal aid or your unhappy client (who may be unhappy because of something a tenant did but may blame you nonetheless and say you should have prevented it).

I'm just wondering if you couldn't combine things to make it one building either legally or in the banks eyes and leverage what you already have to aid the purchase of the others.  

This can aid you in negotiations.

I highly recommend the local meetups, I think the closest ones run regularly are Oakland and SF/South Bay by J.

That being said, I am confident that I could convince potential private investors closest to me to loan me money with a thorough analysis and presentation of the transaction.  

A lot of us (80%) who stumble upon simplepassivecashflow.com and start drinking Kool-Aide will be financially free in 4-7 years pending taking action.

I’ve seen different programs/courses all over the internet that help people get their foot in the door using their tools and software to aid people in starting on their own.

The good news is thanks to a small loan from my 401k it should be paid off next week freing up debt to income and $800/month less payments :)In 2015 - I would like to purchase an additional 4 rentals with long term tenants and maybe flip a property to gain some cash to aid in the purchase of the 4 new properties. :)Congrats again on your year and on the great thread

@ Brett B.I have 17 doors, in 2 states and the closest are about 1800 miles away.  

My home doesn't really have neighbors and the closest homes have always had student rentals but they're not close enough to be problems.
