*This is a VERY simplified example, you'll want to use amortization tables and more to be precise.For maximum portfolio growth, you might consider buying a new primary every 12 months.

That could be you personally or an LLC. 

Does that make anyone think, "If you're not bringing any capital to the table then you probably want to avoid this strategy or you probably want to go with this kind of investment"? 

There's no clear-cut answer IMO, it's a personal decision.  

I started my jouney here in 2011 and I am still learning everyday - especially from others on this forum.My personal portfolio is located within Stamford and Bridgeport.

This isn't something I've been able to keep up with personally, so I hire property managers who rely on legal counsel to keep up with it.

As a beginner, I would personally get my feet wet with something a little less risky without a balloon payment like that.

I put together a table of these options along with pros/cons to determine the best course of action.  

This now means you’re coming to the table with much more cash (lower LTV) to meet a lender’s DSCR of 1.25…some lenders have now raised this to +1.30, which means an even lower LTV.I’m not saying a 5.75% is necessarily bad.  

•Lender (if financing is part of your plan).Detroit is still one of the few places where BRRRR works well, and cash flow and appreciation are both on the table.
