I’m new to the game and in the stage of learning, so let me know what you all think.

It says that in order to get ahead in the Real Estate game and be able to scale quicker than just by saving new deposits every time, you should look at paying no more than 70% what sold comps are going for - and that includes your anticipated rehab and holding costs before renting it out (or selling it).

Are there any other ways to find lenders at my stage in the game?

So I'm basically new to the game - I've owned 2 properties for 7 years and been renting them, but they started out as properties I bought to live inNow I'm trying to diversify and invest in RE - but I work full time and don't know a ton about the financing sideI linked up w someone who's an active flipper in the area and discussed possibly partnering on a deal.

Essentially, that would create a small portfolio of properties that would support itself...then I would look into expanding.

Joe Jackson I’m definitely all game in joint venturing with another investor like yourself.

@Ryan MattsonYou are ahead of the game.

You may want to consider a portfolio refi to squeeze the max $$$ out (since you'll be able to borrow against the combined LTV).

It can be portfolio or individual.

And tenants don't care about your Spreadsheets.Scale up a decent sized portfolio & the good stretches of some properties will carry you through the rough stretches of others.
