George P. #20 rental was purchased today
15 December 2016 | 58 replies
yeah, that's the problem with the rentals... they suck a lot of initial capital and takes awhile to recoup what you put in. in addition, takes a lot of personal sacrifice to save up the capital for the second and third one. that's why the first year we bought 2. both took 4 months to complete each. this year i purchased 8 and renovated 6 so far (some turnovers too). best i can tell you is find cheap deals. every dollar you save in the beginning is a dollar you can put in the business. set a goal and dont get discouraged. even if you end up with just one, it's one more than 96% of the population (guessing)

This journey has been VERY trying at times.My first commercial bank got bought out and would no longer loan to out of state investors.My second bank wanted 25% down, plus 6 months worth of reserves for the properties, plus 6 months worth of reserves for my other properties, plus 6 months worth of reserves for my primary residence (even though it was a commercial loan), plus 6 months worth of my credit card payments, plus the tax returns of the seller, plus the lease agreements with the current tenants.A third broker I was dealing with didn't understand for some reason I wanted it to be a commercial loan even though I repeatedly told him so.A fourth banker finally got it, was responsive, and reasonable.
