What if I could reduce that purchase price to $135K?

That would be the new loan amount at $42,000, and reduce the cash out to $15,700.If the rent supports the loan amount, and the $26,300 includes both purchase and rehab, this may well be a good deal.

You get 4-5 inquiries on your credit report and they think you're about to file for bankruptcy.Also, banks take off 25% of your rental income reducing your net.

If you find a property that has tenants in it and the owner is charging what is about the going rate in your city, it's very unlikely that they will somehow be willing to reduce the price by 30%.

Or are we depending on appreciation to reduce the LTV?

I'd take use part of it to secure a $10 million dollar line of credit and start taking down Bulk Note Packages myself.

After taking over - increase your income and reduce the expenses and turn it into the proverbial "cash cow".

I am interested in individual properties that I can pay all cash for and not multiple million dollar bulk packages.

I would use about ten percent to start, meaning that I would reduce the total amount of rent you expect to collect in a year to 90% of the total possible gross rent.

The new subject purchase wouldnt qualify.Most reduced doc high ltv loans have vanished as well.FYI - Full Doc requires that you have at least 6 months of the expected mortgage payment, inlcuding taxes/insurance, verifiiable in liquid assets seasoned for 60 days.
