Again it depends on how one defines success.

@Travis AndresIf you do not have other assets to secure against - your best bet would be a private lender willing to take risk of essentially providing an unsecured loan.There are people out there that do this - expect very high interest rates.

Well answer it depends.

Depends on what you are looking for.  

You'll find some really great tenants, less turnover, and a higher rental rate than an LTR using this strategy.

The SBA assistance is in the form of a low interest rate loan.

MLS will give you some, but you can look online to the City's website for the City owned real estate they have for sale, but those tend be up to highest bid.I wish there was a catch-all answer to this question, but there really isn't, because it depends on several factors - like what's your price range, what are you looking to do with the property?

However, it mainly depends on LTV, cash flow, and credit so it is hard to say without knowing the full details.

Most of the time, they make you decide the pre-payment penalty based on a range of interest rates they offer.

I was wondering if buying a long term rental property with tenants already in place in a market that is up 20% yoy is a good investement or not. the rough numbers ive been running seem to have a decent cap rate but the house is about 15k more than the zipcode average.
