The tenants are part of a fraternity and so the tradition of renting the house has become a year-to-year thing.

All,I'm looking for a little assistance on several questions related to financing.I am approaching the limit of 10 financed properties (under traditional loan programs), and looking for recommendations on how to finance #11.Consolidation of the portfolio and paying off a mortgage is my last resort, as these are short-term solutions to a larger roadblock. 

Not a traditional septic system.

Lots of great buy and hold info here ( I have a blog posts on classics of lanldord lit  and all those books should be free at the library)..also, of most interest to you may be some of the strategies for low down payment on this site (some involve owner occupancy of a 2-4 unit, for example, or others involve more creative financing) to avoid the traditional higher downpayment for investment properties.

The house also sat unsold for a while, so he ended up reducing the price by $10,000 to about $98,000.Actually going through a traditional mortgage company was SO MUCH more off a hassle than I expected and there were so many issues I honestly don't think I want to list them all! 

Being raised in a traditional Filipino family, I knew right off the bat that my parents wouldn't be supportive at all of the idea.

@Jovan Hsu, traditionally residential is valued differently than commercial.

Those are all advantages you bring to the table that traditional buyers can't.

So, in a listed property transaction (Which this WAS NOT), you traditionally have a SELLER, represented by a SELLER’S AGENT, and a BUYER, represented by, you guessed it, BUYER”S AGENT.

I've read that traditional banks will offer around 4 mortgages, and then it gets much tougher, probably requiring new avenues such as portfolio lenders, but I wonder if we could even get those first 4 mortgages?
