Tell them if they have any clients considering buying an STR, you would love to help if needed.

Hello,A partner and I are going into a multi-family building together but need money for the 20% down payment.

Do you enjoy the security of your cashflowing duplex that doesn't need much maintenance?

But there is a timeline and an appraisal that need to be done I think.

My issue is that I need to take out at least 85-90% to be able to build another property and placing a mortgage on this one.

Thank you very much and have a great day!

I also need a roofing contractor, so I am open to any recommendations you have.

Ultimately, the decision is yours, but it seems like you’ve got a solid foundation and just need to take that next step with confidence.

Your life will be so much better!

So presuming you are on the "add one rental a year plan" after maybe buying 4 with the money you have, I would think it would take a number of years to achieve that retirement goal - but your mileage could vary depending on how much income you need to live on.
