Originally posted by @Zachary Hunter:Hello All,He mentioned to me that when getting the 2 - unit the total mortgage payment cannot exceed more than 20% of what my current rent is as I am renting an apartment.

The seller originally sold it with owner financing years ago.

I noticed that my closing costs where wrapped into my loan in the BP calculator images I posted originally.

Wondering what the best solution might be..Prop 1:  Bought 2011, FHA 3.5% w/ PMI; MV ~185k; Loan Bal 92k; HELOC 36k @ 5% floating off Prime (drawn to pay for down pmt on other property); Rental (performing)Prop 2: Bought 2014, FNCL 3.875% w/ PMI; MV ~ 260k; Loan Bal 173k; Rental (performing)Prop 3: Bought 2018, FNCL 4.625% w/ PMI; MV ~440k; Loan Bal 356k; Owner Occ / Primary - Saving the detail, to get the deal I had to put up more down payment than I would have liked to... 

Unit A- Originally rented at $825-> Increased to $900.Unit B-Originally rented at $750-> Increased to $1,000.

I would like to connect with local real estate investors with ranging levels of experience that have some interest in connecting with high-performing students that are aspiring real estate investors.
