Seeking my first rental property

Brian Walters
Posted

I'm currently seeking my first Rental Property. However, I more likely will not be able to produce the full down payment to make a purchase. I haven't found anything yet, but currently doing research.

(I have more than one question)

Wouldn't it be better for me to get preapproved before seeking out property for purchase?

Also, I have a few acres that's paid for, that could possibly be used as collateral for a down payment towards a purchase. Will the bank let me do this?

Is it recommended to use local banks or credit unions to make a purchase? If not who, or what's the best lenders that are easy to deal with and not high interest?

How do I convince the lender that this will be a business investment, and not another personal mortgage, since I have a primary mortgage already?

By the way my (credit) is good.
