I have about 10k at my disposal and am trying to get my first investment property under my belt. 

As Austin continues to grow at this rapid rate, the market on the Nothern Belt is becoming more and more popular. 

The broker is telling you how awesome the deal is and you want to get one under your belt, so you convince yourself that the market will keep increasing in value at it's current speed. 

The other two are local, but they wouldn't even consider me until I had almost 2 years under my belt.2.

Barry Sanders get in touch with me to discuss

I have one deal under my belt.

Currently have 2 properties under my belt, both in SF, both buy and hold strategies (one residential, one commercial).

I am leaning towards building larger cash reserves and getting a few more properties under my belt and then working on the debt buy down with more cash flow.

Already have 2 house under the belt, so debt to income is already over 50%, how would I go about refinancing this home if I'm already reach my limit in debt to income ratio?

And then after we get a few single family homes under our belt, we'd like to move into multi-families using the same sort of philosophy.
