From what I’ve read, I’d need a year or two of rental income and not all of it would be recognized.  

Since then I have interviewed at a few companies.

Im always going to be the face of my properties I just recognize that at some point I will need help. 

For example, in WI and MN, Dotloop is not recognized as a 'legal' electronic signature for real estate.

The first interview went well but they've called me for a second.

The interview really shows his knowledge.

Make sure you interview a couple of RE's if you have to but a great agent does so much more than I listed above I don't know what I would do without the expertise.GS

Since you can get cash out on new appraised value after 6 months you'll only be able to get 60 - 70% of the PURCHASE price.Make sure you consult a Loan Officer or a Broker that has a lot of experience so that you can buy all of your homes quickly and efficiently.Listen to my interview on the Joe Fairless Show; link is on my profile and this will give you some other ideas.Great posts on this thread and I hope this one helps as well.  

I found out about you from a Real Estate guys interview I believe.

I'm just trying to find an answer, when I say "must" I'm recognizing that it's frequently done so there must be some legitimate way to accomplish that.
