Now my DTI is at it's limit, so I was thinking of acquiring more property through HML, rehabbing, hold and rent.

I spoke with the city and luckily the property I am acquiring is already registered with the city as a rental, but a good lesson learned to call the city and verify there are no roadblocks for future purchases.

When I acquire a new property, I have the seller give me a lease assignment agreement, assigning the leases legally over to me.

I'm not sure how the acquiring a loan will go as I have not been making an income since I was 19.   

I'm mostly invested in stocks, but I hope to acquire a single or multi family home in NH or MA this year.

Hi @Billy Morse, If you bought the property on 10/15/2016, then I assume that it was acquired with the intent to buy, rehab and sell (or flip), in which case the 1031 Exchange would not qualify. 

Hey @Christopher Vis maybe you should look into acquiring some rentals using BRRRR, there is tons of info on BP how to do that.

Don, have you acquired any off market deals in the area?

Not all of it is in cash but or accessible for rental properties, but most of it is not tied up in houses and is very liquid.That said, I don't quite understand, even with those resources, how I would acquire 25 doors in just a couple of years and on presumably a relatively small income and very short time to acquire wealth if one assumes starting at zero or with college debt even.One example of this was discussed on BP podcast 199.Given all that, can y'all help me understand how people are doing this and what secret am I not quite understanding? 

I researched acquiring physical property but found it was easier to use the SDIRA for Note purchases.
