Looking to move from Rehab to Rentals

[Kunal Doshi]

So at the current moment, I only buy homes, renovate and sell them. I'm looking to continue to buy homes and renovate them but instead of selling them, rent them out. After speaking to one of the lenders I've worked with, he informed me that I won't be able to finance more than 5 properties that are rentals. I was wondering how I could go about having more than 5 properties that I purchase through Hard Money, renovate and then refinance them with 20-25% equity. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
