What I have found works is to leverage...both your existing properties for Equity but also your other Assets- then you can open up new borrowing abilities or you can even self finance based on the equity you extract.

This will translate into your razor sharp ability to analyze the deals you're looking into.

Expired Listings -- knocking on those doors or calling them is not a cold call -- it is a WARM call, with an Expired listing you have Intel - information about the seller and their property ---- you know -The attempt to sell their home was a failureYou know the  DOM - how many Days it has been On the MarketReal estate broker/agent failed to sell the property Remarks on the listing  - you've read the remarks on the listing (must sell, needs TLC, some owner financing, won't last long, rent to own, move in condition -- etc), this information tells you, the investor much about the property and the seller  - use this info when negotiatingPrice change - how often has the price been reduced Make more warm calls, negotiate, make offers and do it 

I'd like the ability to make cash offers to motivated sellers that can close quickly. 

They're not going to let You put the property under contract if You can't show the ability to buy.

So my brother and I are partnering on a rental property, his contribution is his ability to qualify for a great loan (5%down 30yr fix @ 3.75).

I'm really appreciating the ability to get feedback from experienced investors.

Likewise, if you know someone who has the ability to take money form their IRA and loan it to you...you can then use it to purchase your multi-family unit.

It could be more of an issue on commercial assets where we will see interest rate adjustments with out the ability to have fixed rates, but if your not over leveraged, you should be able to compensate for that in 3, 5 7 or 10 years when your rate adjusts.
