I have experienced a lot of these same struggles as I am sure a lot of real estate investors have.

I have struggled to find high quality legal advice in my area (West Palm Beach), and have thus far been told I cannot do it because my mortgages don't permit it.

It's REALLY been a struggle to find something within this criteria so I thought that I should open the floor and ask for advice!

I want to purchase another 3 to 4 unit building in the area but am struggling because I don't have the equity in my two houses for the 20 to 25% down payment and I don't have the cash. 

Hi there,I am struggling a little bit with analyzing my current deal (I think I'm having slight analysis paralysis, or I just don't know where to start). 

Its been on the market Since September 2015 and has struggled to sell.

The struggle that i'm dealing with now is that i don't have the personal funds to invest into these opportunity/ deals that are coming to me through phone calls, messages, social media.

May seem like a small number (this only reflects the town's SFR, not condos or apts) but if you consider the larger market of FRBO, and the countless number of long-term ongoing rentals that don't come back on the market for years at a time, the total number of rental homes is exponentially greater.The biggest struggle for a leverage investor is making sure the PITI is covered with enough left over to keep a solid capex reserve.

I have this debate all the time and struggle myself between the security of paying off property and the advantage of leverage.
