The biggest risk in my opinion is that you end up paying more in the end and are possibly in a worse situation by the time you realize it.The question remains, of course....

Another option may be a business line of credit since you have an established business already. 

Hard to say for sure of course but it seems likely rental markets will remain strong for the foreseeable future 

I know apartments.com used to offer that feature of reporting to credit agencies for free but it's no longer available as a feature. 

You pay an annual fee of $3500, they do a soft credit check, then they give you a loan in monthly increments.

Yes of course.

Alhtough I hear OK and nearby states are growing from outpouring of TX, for example.Of course, maybe getting both will work in 10 years...  

@Danny Van- thanks  1) if you have some equity in the property - you might consider getting a HELOC in place now  in case you  want to use any  equity in the future ...Its  easier to get a heloc in place on a primary home as compared to a rental  2) contact your insurance agent and  ask for an  estimate for how the insurance coverage and premium will  change  3) consider  a proeprty management firm if you dont want to  self  manage  4)  get any forms and  processes  in place  (  leases / credit checks / bank accounts/  etc ....)

I have a high credit score and zero debt; I just don’t have the work history.
