I'd ideally like a combination of both, but I guess it's even harder to have your cake and eat it too.

Ideally, the loan is secured via a promissory note against the one of the properties.

Instead, I would focus on gaining as much knowledge as possible by reading books, listening to podcasts, attending webinars, and watching REI videos.

We politely severed our relationship with them and have since bought 4 going on 17 houses with one of their local competitors who refers us deals they come across despite the fact that they are also investors in the area.We get a video walkthrough of potential properties from our manager/agent so that gives us a bit of a backcheck of the info coming out.

I've gotten exceptions to this, but there must be a compelling reason, ideally that we can document. 

I was thinking about reaching out to groups like this to get more hands on instead of just videos on what to do.Thanks as always!

@DJ Harris that makes perfect sense, I recall seeing a video where that same scenario was being role played.

They also sell, but I deal with Jamereon Keith of Real Estate Concierge.

@Michinori Kaneko You should get the Michael Blank spreadsheet and watch his videos.

I understand I can qualify for an FHA loan, but having a larger downpayment is ideal for me.Any input is appreciate.
