Latest & Greatest in financing?

[Jennifer Foy]

Hi All- 

I'm pretty new to the game. I have one property that turned into a rental when I moved and I just purchased my second.  

Are most people using conventional financing and coming up with 20%+ down for rental properties?  I don't want to deplete so much cash with each purchase.   Can anyone give a quick rundown of other ideas.  Where did you start?  What do you think is best?  

Thanks!
