Hi Chris,My advice to you is to find a local real estate agent who is willing to give you housing information in the area you are looking to invest.  

Hello everyone,My name is Chris Porter.

Chris Mason You mean by a HML?

Thanks @Venison Fajardo for the intro info and @Russell Brazil for the tip on staying at or under 4 units.

Chris, it may seem daunting, but if you don't find a CPA as @Russell Brazil says, this could be hard so close to tax day, you might want to try Turbo Tax, they have a program designed for investment property.

Hi @Chris Garza,Stop with the banks and credit unions, start with those licensed to actually broker. 

Hi @Chris Brown,Rates have actually gone down a bit since the Fed increased the federal funds rate a few weeks back.

@Chris Mason, thanks for the idea of securing the DP loan with current equity in another property.
