Hello!Got introduced to real estate investing from a friend who is an MD.Totally a RE noob. Have a mortgage for my residence (wife and newborn). I am an optometrist. My student loans are paid off, my retirement accoun...

My landlord is in her 90's ( only heir is her son in his 70's poor health) and she's considering selling me the property.

As a retiree , I will take full family Health insurance coverage for a very low price (1.5% of my pension amount ).

@Marcus JohnsonI've challenged and won numerous changes to my valuations on my multi family properties in MPLS. 

Been involved in Construction in numerous aspects in the past 15 years and have always had a itch for REI.

Now I don’t mind having a partner but my question is this- I have heard Brandon Turner saying numerous times that banks will typically stop giving out loans after 5-10 properties.

Is looking for numerous single family homes in different locations better than syndicating a multi family property for a first deal? 

I already own numerous properties so, just playing worse case scenario/devil's advocate, I am assuming that after re-financing the 5th or 6th home, the income requirements will be significant.

I've used a HELOC on my primary residence numerous times to support cash offers/acquisition without messing with more cumbersome financing or partners.

Perhaps address any issues that could cause the house to deteriorate as well as any health and safety issues.
