The more houses you can finance using conventional money, the better.Then, once you've got 10 or so (if your debt ratio can handle it) properties under your belt,start looking at portfolio lending that doesn't sell to Fannie Mae.

What's "fun" on the forums is seeing newbies become very passionate about why their strategy is the best, how they will be successful, how they know what to do, etc. without having a single deal under their belts.

So our plan was always to just throw the money right back in at something bigger & better or just add additional property.I would love to do a 1031 exchange, but my thoughts was underwriting would be a little bit tougher on a new buy as we are back to square one with a pile of cash and no NOI (since sale of property), vs doing a cash-out refinance on existing and then going thru underwriting with 1 cash-flowing property already under my belt.

Get your first deal under your belt, in particular, the 1% rule MLS deal that generates the 7% Cash on Cash ROI.Use that return to fund the direct mail campaign to buy houses 2 and 3 next year.The thought being... doing the easy rehab will be a good bullet sized learning experience that better prepares you for the bigger 'cannonball' type deal with the more extensive rehabs next year.
