Hi @Nancy Boudreaux-Ng, I work with a few investors/ investor focused realtors in the area that can share some of their experiences with you to help get you going in the right direction.

I do like many things about Bolt - they have great customer service, you can schedule calls with a business planner/teacher, etc.Hopefully this was helpful!

Let me know if you need help with financing or structuring the deal further!

It will go a long way towards helping you if you ever go to court.

Not only will this help you save on additional costs, but it will also provide you with valuable knowledge and experience for any future endeavors.

If you can show that you're experienced in the market, some traders might trust you to pull off a profitable trade even if you're not putting in as much cash.Regarding skins, being creative with your assets can help you move up the ladder.

I'm buying the property with cash, in a trendy neighborhood.

Please help me find a bank, credit union, etc that will let me use 100% of my equity on an investment property for an interest only HELOC.

Be patient and last tip is to keep your active income as long as you can and try to continue to increase that active income every year as that will help you grow your rental portfolio much faster and live below your means. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
