Hello All,I am expecting to close on my first rental property in 2 weeks and I am extremely excited but i do have a question for you all that are more experienced with buying rentals. I am currently buying my rental t...

Maybe buy-and-hold the next ones.Also another creative house-hacking idea is instead of renting out the other rooms the traditional way, rent them through Airbnb.

Commercial rates are a higher than traditional mortgage rates but it is the best way to expand your portfolio as there is no limit to the number of properties you can have and there are lots of different types of loan products out their to fit whatever your strategy is.  

Hey All,  We run a traditional Real Estate purchase and wholesaling company and do mostly traditional direct mail marketing but have been trying to do more and more on the internet.  

I'm working with a local lender that will finance up to 10 traditional mortgages that meet Fannie Mae/Freddie MAC guidelins.  

From what I'm told, traditional financing is hard to obtain with challenges like this.

I used non-traditional funding because the place needed rehabbing, and was empty.

I've been trying to develop relationships with active wholesalers in the area who are finding distressed situations and finding buyers outside of the traditional routes. 

There several that offer courses on-line, some combination on-line and class-work, and others the traditional "classroom " options.

You need very little cash, as opposed to other traditional REI methods and it has potential to provide a nice cash flow.
