I'm a 23 year old realtor based in Saint George, UT, and have been doing research on investing for about the last year now looking for the best way to jump into the game of real estate investing, and I'm anxious to get started.I'm torn with what my first move is going to be..

Hi BP Members,I have a portfolio of rentals in the Bay Area, primarily in the Alameda County, and I have recently picked up 2 properties in contra costa.

Anyone knows of a porfolio lender that can do a cashout refi for 80-85% ltv??

If you are just looking to add a couple of properties to your portfolio and stop there, scalability won't matter to you. 

So, if you haven't, I'd highly recommend you learn more about business fundamentals to significantly enchance your game plan.

I am a NY multifamily investor looking to expand my portfolio out of state.

I know the bank's stance will be for me to put my own money in so I have "skin in the game". 

@Joshua Kohl if you want to grow your rental portfolio, you have to be comfortable with leverage.

Definitely starting out right - you're about to gain priceless knowledge on the PM, rehab, tenant, regulations, and I'm guessing finance fronts of this crazy game.

I'm looking at a portfolio deal with 3 properties (10 units total).
