How many additional properties could you have bought if 75% of that money was yours instead of the banks?

In my instance, I let them out of a contract but asked them for an additional month's rent and security deposit.  

After additional research I found out that his license has been expired for two years.

I have designed and built several dozen projects from New Construction to whole-house remodels to deep energy retrofits to additions and kitchen and bath remodels.I'm the Owner/President of Boston Architects and Builders, Inc.

My question is, should I expect additional hoops to jump through when refinancing the first rental, even though we'll own it free and clear?

Or is there a deeper mindset that has no desire for the additional "baggage" of owning a home? 

You can try and calculate how many rentals you would have to acquire in order to replace your Monthly Earnings.

...for a $45 additional fee no doubt :)

Thanks for your help, happy to answer any additional questions.

(The second story is another commercial space but is unoccupied.)I have been approached by the mortgagee (a private lender) to suggest a deal that would enable me to acquire the building.
