also, spend the money on professional pictures. it shouldn't cost too much and you don't get a chance to make a 2nd impression.

.- Try to find off market deals for way cheaper (e.g. using hard money, then refi into a rental loan)- Try to find properties where the owner will finance a big part of it and you get only a small loan with higher interest rates for the down payment.- Get a property subject to where you take over payments for a loan with lower interestfeel free to reach out and discuss some ideas

I am neither a real estate agent or a lender OR  a property manager for money.  

What you are proposing is the classic money loss situation unfortunately.

Thank you for this information, I am assuming by non-conventional you mean hard money, bridge loan, etc. 

Tax preparers usually charge another $500 to prepare the 3115 calculation schedules per property so that saves you money.  

It was during this challenging time that I made a decision to prioritize saving money on a monthly basis.
