The only way you get someone like that is economies of scale.

I honestly think that would be exhausting and a waste of time.

If you look at economies of scale, putting 800K down on a 2 MM property will still cashflow way better than my SFR plus the 300K invested, I'd think. 

This is right at 08/09 all hell is breaking lose in the economy and I was not sure the furniture store would be able to make it so I wanted my rent up front. 

In my opinion, the economy of scale isn't there, or at the very least, is very challenging.That thought aside, a back of napkin figure suggests the same NOI using 60% of gross rent, but that back of napkin calculation is BEFORE debt service generally speaking, so you may be looking at creative marketing by the seller. 

Some prices have been cut to be mild values- based on the 2019 economy but still nothing coming close to representing the current economic conditions.

Portfolio lenders will allow unlimited (in many cases) as @lexi teifke mentions above, but try to exhaust your conventional financing opportunities first. 

I am bullish on the economy going another year without a recession and when we do have one I think it will be small, but no one ever really knows.

Many in this last group are also vigorously embracing the sharing economy, and are happy to share their knowledge, experience, and success with others.SummaryThere is quite a diverse set of views among those out there in the market today.

I plan on educating myself over the next 3 months on general real estate, the local market economy and practicing crunching numbers on possible deals (not in terms of greed, but for a sense of security ensuring positive cash flow).
