Capital! Capital! Capital!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to build capital? 

Hi, I'm a seasoned landlord and after 2 years of renting my first home I decided to study real estate investments. 5 years later here I am trying to build my portfolio but I'm being stopped by the fact that I just don't have enough capital saved. I really don't understand how some people get Multi family Properties & I'm stuck trying to get the 20% & LTV of a single family. I work so hard at this and it gets frustrating at times but I will not give up on my goal!!!!!! I have double digit capital but just not enough😣

Have you tried borrowing private money? That has worked well for me. Ask family, friends, co-workers, people at your church, your attorney...everyone!
