All my LLC's are leveraged on the bank's money.

I've bought like 7 rentals and am beginning to get declined by traditional lenders as I'm too highly leveraged (many of these 7 don't have enough history), but I'm interested in purchasing a $400k 17-unit package in MO that already is generating like 7.5k/month.

The sad thing is with technology, none of this really even hard to do.I have had plenty of problems as a landlord including tenants leaving a property in bad condition.

This one was a great learning experience from a banking/leverage  standpoint, and a remodel management standpoint.

Because your biggest opportunities early on will be using your credit to leverage into a place.2) Its not for everyone, but imo the easiest way to get into the real estate business is via house hacking.  

Personally, I would refi at the best terms available at the highest leverage possible IF I thought I could invest with a return that would beat the borrowing expense.

Like any other business, there is somewhat of a grind in starting out, but it is a great form of leverage to acquire assets.

Invariably something always slips through the cracks and you would rather use leveraged money to fix it rather than cash out of pocket.

On the other hand, if you are comfortable in your current situation-maybe the extra risk of being highly leveraged is not worth chasing higher returns.Hope this helps!

The technology is more readily available and would save the average American 200k in energy savings over a 30 year mortgage.
