See all the 0% balance transfer credit cards solicitation you get in the mail now days?

My thinking is that because the purchase of a ownr fin. property doesn't show up on my credit, banks won't look at it as legitimate income.

If you have the credit and cash available, you have a lot of options. 

Can't you get a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)?

That helps.I am also assuming that many of these regional/small banks/credit-unions may not have extensive online presence so i have to pick up the phone and do it the old fashioned way (but not 'too' old fashioned way of going there in person...as that would be very hard for me to accomplish for every potential opportunity i find).Originally posted by @Michael Le:You'll likely have better luck with a local-to-property bank as they better understand the local area and market.

If you wouldn't be given credit for time in NY, you'll need to get 2 years under your belt before branching out as a PM on your own.

I would probably need to use about $20,000 from my line of credit and would probably have it paid off in about six months.Management: $75 monthTaxes: $600 per yearInsurance: $650 per yearDoes this seem like a good purchase?

In addition to screwing up your credit and causing a lot of sleepless night. 

I am currently pulling a line of credit to purchase another duplex so I don't have cash to buy it.

Also I am about to procure a line of credit on some equity i have in a couple of properties, It will cost me nothing until i use it but is 100% liquid and can have it in my account instantly.
