Would conventional lending eventually dry up if we keep doing this without putting 20% down for an investment property loan? 

As we do in the army so much "dry runs" or "blank fires" I'm wondering how I can educate myself and prepare myself before the actual rental property or "live fire"

I could put in a coin-operated laundry machine in the basement and charge 2.50 for wash and 1.50-2.50 for dry, doing so would make a few thousand a year.

Glued it good and let it dry overnight.

Wal-mart has already started turning excess front sidewalk space into a medical center by doing a bump out to their building.

I would like have them pay for utilities to prevent excessive use of appliances/ heat/ AC.

I could put the excess away in savings and be able to buy #2 in a year and then rethink if I do another 2-3 unit locally or at that point invest out of market. 

I have excessive time, and capital to qualify to work with a hard money lender, but limited knowledge...I also have a real estate license, but never used it as a career or to earn consistent income as an agent (as of yet).

Bare land can look like a great deal, but with development fees and materials costs being excessive right now it is often much more economical on the OR.

Plumbers and electricians are licensed but most other contractors/GCs are not.I don't know of any legal zoom that will help you prepare litigation documents, its not as cut and dry as other forms.
