While alot of Realtor hate the practice, I put in multiple bids to take the property off market, then have an inspection as well as a financial out if my due diligence does not meet my expectations or I negotiate a better deal on the other property. 

To control risk, I want to put down at least 20% on my first property.Should I do multiple cash out refinances of my own home for each deal?

I know typically speaking FHA or VA doesn't do one loan for multiple parcels.I have heard that if it is on the same deed then FHA deal can be done?

I know its one of those questions with multiple answers but i haven't had much luck finding at least one serious investor.Thanks,Chris 

I am in the early stages of evaluating multiple properties, so a little too early to be engaging an insurance broker for every property I want to evaluate.I am looking for a solid number to be able to plug into the handy-dandy BP Rental Property Calculator.If it helps, I'm looking at properties in Des Moines, Iowa (IA), but am still open to what you're seeing in other states.Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!!

There are multiple options for financing, but all are going to require some varying amount of down payment.

The only thing that came up was discussions about when a property is put on hold while multiple offers are considered.  

It has all the markings of a great cash flow market: stable employment, population growth, broad employer base, and nice rent multiples.

Ideally investors who have multiple properties with you.

I've purchased several books as well as attended multiple webinars to further educate myself in real estate investing.
