I would rent out your current residence, use either conventional or FHA financing to get 3.5%-5% down and house hack your next investment property.

Subject-to financing a bit complex, but it involves the buyer taking over payments.

If you have any questions about financing feel free to contact me. 

Hi all -I have been looking further into creative financing and have a question.

How did you finance this deal?

Also if the lender (assuming you're using financing) finds out about it, they'll probably require the K&T be mitigated prior to closing. 

But in a nut shell  this is how all my clients get their props and then they have me for financing them.

I'm a real estate agent and I'm familiar with this type of deals.How did you finance this deal?

You can obviously continue using cash to buy your investments, but there are a number of options you can also use to finance both the purchase and then renovations that will require you to use less of your own money.

If you need a lender recommendation to discuss your financing options, feel free to send me a PM.
