**Ask for a portfolio that you can take a look at.

I have been a contractor for alot of years and have always been interested in real estate, so finding decent deals and fixing them up isn't a huge problem.Still working on exit strategies, talked a good bit with a local portfolio lender and looks like I will be able to get permanant financing after the rehab with them.Going to work with a hml and do most of the work myself, while expensive this should allow me to increase my reserves slightly during the project and then refi with no cash out, hopefully straight into the next project.

If you use a hml for the purchase then a rate/term refi based upon the true value of the property will not be an issue so long as you meet all qualifying criteria.This is still possible with cash out but you'd need to use a local bank or portfolio lender.

I have read quite a few posts about how you can get a portfolio commercial loan to either combine all or some of the conventional loans or purchase new ones.

I'm currently in the process of trying to find individuals whom I can borrow money from and/or partner up with to build up a rental portfolio.

Of course the cash flow would be offset by the fact that I'm paying rent but it would allow me to get in the game and start building a portfolio..

I will also always have some business in the USA in select states, about 2-5% of my portfolio.

Once the investor has the property it is their choice whether to add it to their portfolio as a rental unit or try to flip the property for a profit.Hope that helped.

I would like to build my portfolio quickly but I can't go more than a couple of months without a paycheck. 50 properties in 90 days would be incredible, but not probable.The idea behind the commercial/business loans was based on the thinking that the business plan would pay for it's self.

you making fun of my rental portfolio???
