I've been doing my due diligence for preparing a solid wholesaling system on Whidbey Island Washington and the everett/north seattle area.

We are currently consulting for NDD LLC which have offices in Europe and Asia in addition to North Dakota, and a global network of agents who have affiliated with them.

Her strategy is to pay down our first property considerably before buying another one, and my strategy is to buy as many as possible and use our current income to leverage more properties.We have a combined gross income of 250K and FICO scores north of 700 and are looking at properties in the 200-350K range in MA.I am not clear on the debt to income ratio and the role rental income plays in acquiring more properties.With the above figures (and provided my and my wife's risk tolerance reaches a middle ground), are there challenges with us acquiring multiple properties/year with conventional financing?

@Robert Taylor If it gives you any solace, our property tax rate is comparable to what you endure in Milwaukee, and our property prices are 2-3 times what you find on the western shore of Lake Michigan {@Dawn Anastasi has been subjected to my grousing about this before}... yet your rents are 75% of what we can expect for a similar offering.

The $2,000 or so it is going to cost is minor, when purchasing a property that is north of $1million.I personally wouldn't be as concerned about the mold, unless you know there are water/moisture issues.

Norfolk if you know it.As the title suggests I am returning back to Chicagoland in the spring, my wife is from there and we spent a number of years there together in Oak Park ,one of the Western Suburbs.Anyway we are looking to invest in some real property to provide for us in our dotage.Off to hunt round the site now.

It is an antique with Olde World Charm -- a semi-attached English Tudor in North Flushing.
