@Mark BadyWelcome to the world of real estate!

Hi Lara, Its always a great time to buy.

A real head scratcher. 

That's an overstep of your licensure which agents do ALL THE TIME.

Necessary Stats:Credit Score: 740+Loan Type/Amount: Conventional/$320KProjected Income: $3100 (including me paying myself rent)Down Payment: 5%Let me know if there is extra info needed and thanks ahead of time for any advice that is offered!

Or the 3% down conventional has to be for the first time ever property?

I did this several times using duplexes and triplexes over the years before I decided to become an accountant.

Not sure if you need this but something I would recommend for you is this website.https://www.areavibes.com/Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F Thanks Preston.

Hey, I recently bought my first rental property in Polk County it doesn’t cash flow enough for me to have a property manager so I would have to manage this myself for the time being, however in about 6 months I would want to get a HELOC on the property and use that as a down payment on maybe a multi family and then rinse and repeat, I was wondering if this sounds reasonable or would I have to do something else thank you so much 

Not that Zillow is known for it's accuracy, but I've found across the board that they multiply the listing price by 0.004180... every time all over the country that I've tested.
