As of right now my biggest questions is once I have my first property but fiancing this property took a decent chunk of my change and say ideally the cash flow is good, how do I go about getting other properties without waiting years to save up the money again to start building my portfolio?

Personally, I think doing both is ideal - an LLC and a 1-2 million umbrella policy.

Ideally you'd want to work with  a mortgage broker that can source numerous lenders for best pricing and service.

I don't think there's anything wrong with falling short of ideals if you're honestly striving for them.4.

I wouldn't say that's entirely unethical, but if you could find someplace on the lower end of your mortgage scale then it would be more ideal.

If you can find a brokerage that'll let you start with them as a part time agent this would be ideal.

Ideally I would like to buy a multi-family situation where my boys and I can live there as well as rent out part of it.
