Technically I am borrowing that money from one, to pay for the other, which is a very common scenario.If you have most, but not all, of the down payment, could you get a mortgage at a higher LTV? 

That would be a great place to start with a common background.

Moral: there is no science, it is a bit of trial and error and continuing to trust your instincts, if they haven't led you astray yet.

I'm pretty sure that this clause is common in almost all mortgages, so I would double check on that before transferring any titles.Good luck!

I know in Cincinnati, the auditor's office has a specific form that needs completed to contest taxes and even offers specific evidence you can use to contest them.The easiest way in my experience is if you just bought the property for less than the assessed value, that is your evidence, since it was a recent arms length transaction.Alternatively, hiring an appraiser and full appraisal report is commonly accepted.

RE Agents only get paid if a deal closes so 'fear' is a very common reaction during times like this.2.

It does not cover mortgage/common charges, etc., so I am contributing to meet those expenses each month.Originally posted by @Charles Xia:Hi Robyn,It seems like you have the right mindset already and you just need someone to point you in a direction.A few questions to ask yourself. 1.How comfortable are you letting someone else manage your rentals?

I know a few friends who are still ol skool but Zoom Call is the common theme now

Private/hard money lenders were not nearly as common then as now but great deals were plentiful.

The difference is there is little room for error in todays prices.
