Hi James,Fo me I was able to have 4 total properties with 20% and when I bought my 5th and 6th I need 25% and actually 30% for my last deal.But there is some debate if you have 4 investments and you buy a primary making it your 5th you may be able to get away with 20% b/c I believe they are looking at investment properties.
