Getting a second mortgage

[Moaaz Malik]

I'm looking to get into purchasing some rental properties, but I keep coming back to how will I get the funds to get my second property? I currently have ~$100K  to put towards my properties. Let's say I use that cash for my first property in California that has a mortgage of ~$500K. I'm thinking California because I live in the Bay Area and would like to be nearby for my first property.

 Is it then hard to get a second mortgage?  I imagine it would also take a while for the cashflow to be enough to get a downpayment for the second house? I would love to hear everyones opinion on what's the best way to continue to grow my rental properties.

Thanks!
