I`m a new investor. Bought a condo to live in in 2008, and in 2009 I bought a bigger condo and kept the first and rented it out. After doing a lot of reading I definately want to build my portfolio. My question is what is the best way to generate the cash to come up with the next investment property.
I`ve been told banks generally want 20% down for an investment property, which means about $40 - $60k. Takes a long time to save that much from my employment income.
Looking for advice on how you guys started generating cash to build your portfolios.
(I am aware of HELOCs as well, but even still I think it will take some time for me to build the equity necessary to use a HELOC to purchase another property).
Thanks!
