I only took out a 50K heloc though when I was living there cause I didn't want to be tempted.

Call lenders and start having conversations. 

I think for someone who's starting out, that person can expect 12 to 1 appointment to closing conversion ratio and someone who's expert at it maybe 6-8 to 1 lead to closing ratio.

Hi Everyone,I live in NYC and looking to invest in the Harrisburg, PA area.

I live in Stormstown and work in State College. 

In Colorado Springs, my clients will do any of the following:- basement conversion- garage conversions- rent by the room- multiple unit house hacks (house and cottage, duplex, triplex, fourplex).- buy a property with two unit zoning and build an ADU on the backLots of options.

You might want to expand your scope to search for SFH+ADU, and live in the ADU portion.

Goal: Build a passive income from rentals that will allow my husband, my daughter, and myself to live on mission for Jesus Christ.

- to me this was another way of saying "I am going to have some of my undocumented employees living here (yes they disclosed some undocumented individuals, however, the potential leaseholder is documented)Someone please talk some sense into me LOL this is my only official applicant as of now.

i think it is very difficult to live off of the 'cash flow' from long term rentals, and it takes either a handful of quality, paid off properties or 10-25 leveraged properties depending on your market.making back your down payment in 2.5 years is actually really good - which makes me skeptical of that deal =) you can post the numbers here if you want.finally - check this thread out.
