Specifically we are looking at possibly buying a warehouse/retail building. 

Hi Emmanuel, Without knowing the specifics of your situation ( income and debts) the answer is it could and it couldn't. when buying a multi family home the down payment is 25% for a duplex 30% for 3-4 units. obviously if are buying a rental property, potential rental income will be factored in.  

I second @Ronald Rohde, its a difficult question to answer without knowing your specific goals (for yourself and the property), risk tolerance and local RE market etc.Are you trying to decide between opening up your own business in the second unit or is your list of business the potential tenant pool? 

I'm also looking to start my first marketing campaign specifically with using bandit signs.

Luke, I’ve been working Hurricanes and storm related damages for property claims for 17 years as a licnesed General contractor, Commercial roofer and for insurance companies in the field as a Commercial claims IA specifically HOA, apartments and commercial buildings.

I am still formulating specific goals,  but 10 units by 2021 is something I have in mind.  

The Analysis is based on the specifics of the deal...entering it, and exiting it.Oh, and either way, make sure you calculate how long it takes you to start making a profit. 

If you have more specific questions or want information about getting pre-qualified, send me an email, message, or text.

sure contact your local title company and ask them to send you one or pay them to prep one.. they are state specific generally speaking

Im interested in hearing about how each person started out investing in real estate, more specifically rental real estate.
