That of course makes a difference in equity so how can I find out whatI actually owe?

As soon as we had the money saved and the opportunity presented itself, we jumped on the chance to start this journey!

If you can qualify for it, get a HELOC or HELOAN on those properties.Or find a creative private/hard money lender that can tap into that equity in 2nd lien position or to cross-collateralize them with the purchase of the new property and use that equity towards your cash to close so you can buy that next deal without much cash out of pocket. 

This could help you clarify your goals and potentially save money for your future.

And I need some clarification from those who are section 8 landlords.Regarding the actual payment to landlords, they said, "Once it passes the inspection and rent comparability (this is where we make sure your asking rent is the same as the market), the housing specialist will give the move in approval."

@Patrick Irish, If paying money buys you peace of mind then go for it. 

. $100 is WAY too low and they will be losing money when finding a tenant.

To the hard/private money lenders out there.

That house actually looks good to me for a rental of any kind because it's very accessible.

Hi all,I browsed through a few pages of threads looking for an answer but did not see anything applicable.For the private lenders out there, what is the best/easiest program/application/platform to use to begin private money lending to others?
