If I go to a bank, and tell a loan officer that my general plan is to buy a buy and hold investment property and I want to know approx how much I can get approved for, am I going to get laughed out of the building (so to speak).If not, would anyone have a recommendation on how I would approach that subject at a bank/other traditional lender?

It seems as if they want to pull your equity, put it as dp and lock in a loan larger then it will technically sell for.  

20 minutes around where you live is always best, if you have to go outside, look for am area where you have some sort of an edge, like family or frequent travel etc.

Looking to house-hack a triplex in Chattanooga TN, where the numbers are showing me paying/reserving a little more than half my current mortgage (889) while I'm staying there, which comes out to about 544.92 that must be paid/reserved each month, but once I move out and get it fully rented, I'll be making 186.69 per door (560.08 overall) per month.I was coming into house-hacking hoping to get my entire or at least most of my mortgage paid for.

I, like most of the heads of the companies I have worked for, am starting at ground zero, and am looking forward to absorbing as much information as I can on bigger pockets. 

Which am saving up for.

You just take what the bank approves you for?

We have to serve them here in with a 14 day notice and then wait 14 days to file with the court for am actual court date.

Is this not a return that investors are looking for?
