if you need $200K for a project, no one is going to loan you $200K - you need a down payment, holding costs, and you need to know what you're doing or you'll just turn that $200K into $150K.good luck

My strategy for the foreseeable future is 'buy and hold' with long-term tenants. 

To me buy and hold also seems good, I'm not very interested in flipping as that seems to be a step to far to manage remotely.

I usually hold 15% total for these.

I seem to be “landlocked” for any borrowing at this time.I did go to the bank that holds three three commercial loans for my apartments.

Working the regular 9-5 is okay but I just want more.
