Can you ever max out a portfolio lender?

I've had experience in Sarasota County and have a small portfolio there.

Living in Upstate NY there are a good amount of historical homes (particularly brick) and I think it would be great to have some in a portfolio.

I wish I had that level of detailed information for my company's portfolio.

I aspire to eventually own and manage my own portfolio of rental/investment properties.

The draw back to these loans is that they are more paperwork heavy than the other "portfolio" types of loans....but if you have ever received a loan on your primary home, it's likely that you will go through the same type of paperwork here with conventional lending.

Now we are looking to get back into real estate in the Chattanooga area.We want to get into Buy and Hold real estate to maximize cash-flow and to start to develop a rental portfolio.
