@Marcus CannadyA hard money lender should be on speed dial for this one. 

Well, usually refinance is 75% not 80%But yes, it is how you speed up your velocity of money.

That would certainly speed up the process.

@Timothy Howdeshell instead of spending money on another degree... invest it into real estate... it will grow your income and speed up the goals you have.

I own my own company managing my stuff so I don’t have a Toni of suggestions but @Kevin Wood is active here  mFor banks I’d suggest local banks for speed and easy  green bank  first Texan bank  origin bank.  

One must know the applicable laws, rules and regulations because weather you are up to speed with them or not, your going to be held to them, and suffer the misery if ignorant of them. 

We help a lot of people to figure out that strategy and I have learned that what they thought was a good deal initially was not actually the deal that would take them to their goal but rather further away from it.Take the time to slow down and figure this out first and then you will be able to speed up because you know will know exactly what you are looking for in an investment property.Hope this helped and not made it more confusing.

Already having tenants in place with leases also speeds up the process.

We have a great handyman and contractors on speed dial for the big stuff.  

Then we had to get high speed INTERNET so all the kids could do their schoolwork at the same time.
