@Peace Lily Why does it have to be removed? 

Coming here is one of the best moves you've made to enhance your REI.

Welcome to BP Community @Sharnell James ; a great place to enhance your REI knowledge. 

Yes, I'm learning that patience is the key to a peaceful mind.

Our focus is on value-add (renovation, amenity enhancement) in transit-oriented locations in selected geographic areas with potential for rental growth through area amenities & job opportunities just to name a few attributes.

Yes, you can accelerate your portfolio and enhance it by adding a multi-family, you can take it to the next level by even consider living in one half and renting the other "house-hacking," if you are an owner occupant you can even use a 203k loan and acquire the home using 3.5% down and finance the entire renovation, as long as you stay within market value, this lets you enter the marketplace with very little down and use the banks money to renovate it.

I side with the prespective that a lot of others have already provided within this forum; however, I did not hear the obvious/ traditional beginners method/approach mentioned.That method/approach being: 1.) obtaining a good deal which equates to me at a minimum of 10-15% (the more the better) below market value based upon CMA (this approach protects you in the case of a slight market downturn)2.) utilizing the business line of credit of $50k to make the 25% down payment (this down payment helps enhance the profit spread you will be able to collect each month in rent from your tenants minus your mortgage and loan repayment)3.)

Maybe you can try this, but personally, I already made peace with the fact that real estate field has a certain demographic.

The biggest factor left out of the financing approach is risk & peace of mind.
