Basically, multiply the rental rate by 50 and determine what a reasonable purchase price for that type of rental property should be. 

@Jay Hinrichs   Wasn't trying to imply not to follow the rules of the FREC and NAR Code of Ethics.

I would love to put 50% down and get a 10 year mortgage for the rest. 

To my disappointment I was denied a loan of $170,000 from quicken due to high debt to income ratio ( I was over excited and failed to do my due diligence) I didn't think to add in the new payment into my calculations.....oops, But with that nice lesson learned I now know what needs to be done in order to get either 50-80k on a heloc. so my question is when the lender calculates the dti on the heloc do they use the interest only payment or principle & interest.

They allowed me to take out 50%.

Different states have different rules and regs, You can start your biz in any state and file for the ability to work in the state you are in as your business.

All these rule of thumbs that are on this site don't work out numbers' wise in 90% of the markets in the US.

Commonly referred as 401k small business financing (Rollover as Business Startup 401k), yes the IRS 401k rules allow for the use of your 401k funds to start-up a business without being subject to distribution penalties.

Then, how can I get 50+% LTV financing to purchase a 3rd+ property?
