We have a possible distressed property so timing is tight. 

I would like to see if it is possible to scale using only conventional financing, and home equity loans, in order to maximize self-sufficiency with respect to financing. 

I’m hoping to network with the many real estate professionals in this forum to gain as much knowledge as possible from this community!  

Getting that license opens up a lot of possibilities for you to offer your customers a wider variety of products.

It is a possibility that my Mother would at this stage gift me the down payment to take on a second primary residence loan but we are still discussing. 

I am curious to learn more about the situation and see if there are any possible solutions.

Are DSCR loans on motre than 4 units possible with no seasoning of DP? 

My advise to you is to save as much money as possible and eliminate whatever expenses you can to save up for downpayments.

I will make mistakes and not so great decisions along the way but I want to minimize that as much as possible. 

Despite the possibility of higher interest rates, they can have more accommodating qualifying requirements.If you currently own homes with a sizable amount of equity, you may be able to get funds for your down payment through a cash-out refinancing or a home equity line of credit (HELOC).
