Hey all!
I have one rental under my belt, and I'm generating a decent profit (25k down + minor fixes. $250 profit a month), and I want to expand.
So, I'm a wee greedy when it comes to things. If an investor wants to invest, and be paid back, that's fine, but most investors I've spoken with want a piece of the rental. Usually a BIG piece. Since I want the next rental to be mine alone, I have to come up with a way to cover the usual 20% down.
In my area, 20% down for a "decent" place is usually anywhere from 20-35k. Saving that amount of money can take a while, so I had a thought: What if I went to Lending Club and took out a loan for say 30k and used that as the down for my next rental?
I can easily afford the payment on that, and I tend to get cash here and there. Since I'd rather start sooner than wait the few years it would take to save up the money, I thought this might be do-able.
Thoughts?
