Lastly, don’t rush—focus on properties in good locations and with solid potential for both income and appreciation.

I currently have 3 rental properties and now want to move on into fix and flip...Joseph, it's great that you're looking to expand into fix and flips, and having three rental properties already gives you a solid foundation.

Pick solid operators and solid asset classes.We syndicate self-storage projects.

Hey Eli –Given your situation, DSCR loans could be a solid path, especially if you're aiming to expand your portfolio.

The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.

If they contest it, push back with the evidence.

The key is building systems and finding solid property management to handle things while you move around.

@Edwing Hernandez Lots of unsupported claims...same story with Roofstock...nothing like getting on camera and claiming you have a magic formula but no evidence of what's in the potion....they want you to go on faith alone, I guess...

The only caution I give people is to make sure they have a solid income to where they won't feel the pain of the loan. 

Really about growing a strong portfolio of solid deals.Now that being said, if you are a high income earner, well qualified, and can't find reasonably good deals: (i) you can connect with a well connected real estate agent for off-market deals; (ii) you might do a very narrow cost-effective cold call or letter writing.
