Here is my opinion so far:US:- 30yr fixed principle repayment mortgage, so actually build equity assuming 0 appreciation- rates around 4.2% right now (also get a small discount through work)- first 4 properties 20% down, then 25%- can deduct all expenses plus depreciation- I have a large liability in USD (student loan) so would be good to have a USD cash flow and avoid FX riskUK:- interest only mortgages with 3-5% fixed rates for 3-5 years...then need to refinance (which can be expensive and unpredictable...also interest only so relying on appreciation)- however, interest only improves the cash flow significantly as the mortgage amounts are tiny- 25%+ down- slightly less tax friendly, it seems- much less space, higher population density and growth...points to higher average appreciation potentialDoes anyone have any thoughts?

I have been in school for the last four years and thought that my high student debt (100k+) and low income would prevent any form of conventional financing.

I know the basics but am struggling with taking the next steps to receive financing (without a job/income because I am still a current college student).

Obviously I'd have to inspect the properties before any moves are made to determine what repairs/enhancements would be required in the short and long term.
