@Bruce Bloom@Craig FitzsimmonsMost of us purchase for cash flow but have potential appreciation to fall on if we are buying for the long term.

My brother and I are investing in different parts of St Louis County and City and are excited to have in the past three months acquired three properties that we are holding as rentals.

Now as we are trying to expand and grow, we want to keep multis in our portfolios as rentals.

We are purchasing 3 duplexes all next to each other.

I can’t remember the ridiculous numbers exactly but it built a 16-17 story building in just a couple weeks or less.As a very forward preparing GC, we are getting ready and prepared to be sensor installers (plumbing pipes, wood rot detection, foundation shift, etc etc.).

Still in the early stages so we are likely months away from being ready to start looking.

NYS has some funny rules and being that we are not local we chose to use Marchioni & Associates (Ashley R.).

But we are entering a slow down, and I might  be better off waiting until next year to make offers to desperate sellers who panic sell thinking it's the same crash as 2008 already.For now I've asked for 50K reduction in price.

Primarily, we are looking for BRRRR and buy & hold properties and know rehab expenses are imminent.Question - What's the best way to increase our lending limits without completely tanking our scores?
