You'll pay a higher rate and may need to have more of your own money in the deal in case of unexpected repairs. 

JeffWe lead a couple investor meet up groups in person and live stream about the Central Ohio real estate market.

They go on Zillow or Redfin and just look for properties that meet the criteria, put them on spreadsheet, analyze the potential deal, pick up the phone and call listing agents.
