I would add it as an expense to your P&L then raise the rent to accommodate the amount.

@Gerald L Biggs make about 200 more calls and let us know how it goes! 

@Taylor L. is 100% correct. 

One group often helpful is https://www.facebook.com/group... run by Sri L who's in here also, there are some video talks which I found great (https://www.facebook.com/srira...).

I would recommend Columbus OH where there are lots of job opportunities (battelle, L-Brands, OSU, and etc) as well as good population growth the city is constantly growing and expanding.

@Nicholas L.

I'd say 15-20% down is feasible, 5-6% amortized over 30 years (8% isn't impossible, but there will be less people willing to pay that because it's pretty high)l, balloon in 5-10 is doable but the longer the balloon, the more potential buyers you could find. 

So I meet the metrics of the 10-15% down, and the 1.25 DTI, but I don't have the tax returns to prove it, all I have is the current balance sheet, P&L, a business plan, and my projections.What is the smartest way to get financing?

Hi @Kristen L Garner, that sounds like a good plan!
