So say you have 5 properties and you got the LTV to be at 70% for your current properties plus say two more properties you can purchase with the equity of your portfolio. 

After two years I understand for tax purposes I sell it as a rental.

All the deals I have found the last two years have been off market. 

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hey man I’m happy to share my two cents here and a couple thoughts.

My parents have seller financed before--they're not newbies, but they lucked out the prior two times. 

I have ownership with my wife and older son and his wife, all 25% each as members in two different properties.

Thank you for your time. do a deal or two 1st, then worry about setting yourself up. 

I can qualify for traditional bank loan 20% down but I’m exploring making two offers of traditional and seller finance. 

Two years ago, my team and I were looking at other markets, but I paused that plan to see where things went, and I'm glad that I did.
