Hello @Audrey Scott,You did not specify this in your post, but I'll assume that you want to buy an investment property.

I am thrilled to join this vibrant forum.

Interest adds to your tax base not deduct from it

there are so many forum posts on BP from folks who bought a random property in a 'low cost' market and got crushed by deferred maintenance or challenging tenants.i looked at a few of your other posts. 

I want to learn how to do real estate.

We're looking to learn and begin our journey. 

Really helpful, Jay!

Edit: And taking 10-20% equity on a deal like this with an experienced investor might be completely worthwhile and life changing to be clear. 

Hi Tyler,Since you have rental properties, it’s crucial to get excellent advice from your CPA, who can help you minimize your tax liability and save more of your hard-earned money.

The max LTV available will range from 75-80%.
