They will only use a new appraisal after 12 months so that is the biggest issues with cashing out a good deal.I'm going to research other regional banks and credit unions but options are out there above the fannie limit.

If nothing else find out who some of the big players are and reach out to them and ask what their biggest problem is and how you can best be a solution to them, a great place to start can be as a helpful hand and learn everything you can from that "big fish". 

The biggest hurdle in these smaller affordable markets is forcing appreciation for refi or Brrrrrr.

And that's the biggest point, housing is NOT a choice, it's an absolute necessity and requirement, literally everyone NEEDS a home of some kind be it a house, apartment, bridge underpass or whatever, it's not a choice and all of the nearly 400million Americans NEED it.

Cash flow is not my biggest priority right now, I'm really just trying to start building a portfolio of long term holds around Atlanta.

Hi Folks, Thanks for the feed back...Jbeard I like to  use technology for research..so if you know of some solutions let post them so that i can research them...finding properties that are deeply discounted is the biggest challenge.

Where we are seeing the biggest slowdown in bookings is with properties in residential neighborhoods with neighbors directly adjacent on all three sides (left, right, behind).

It typically takes trial and error, but the biggest thing is there is no one way!

The biggest takeaway I have is to keep doing what I am doing the way I am doing it.

The down payment requirement to buy an investment property is the biggest barrier to entry into this business, for sure.Gurus out there like to sell the dream of buying real estate with little to no money down, and while it is possible, it's easier said than done.Unless you get into a seller financed deal, a sub-to deal, or can find a private equity partner, you're just going to need to save up some more money before you buy an investment property.
