When I work with investors who want to build wealth buying Oklahoma City investment real estate they typically buy 5 or more. They may not do 5 at a time but depending on their age, financial ability, and what their ultimate strategy is they buy at least 5 and usually more since Fannie Mae goes up to 10 mortgages for investors. If they are married and both have incomes that can qualify then 20. The reason is two fold. First if you have one property with a mortgage then if it is vacant they are at 100% vacancy and nothing to offset the mortgage payment. if they have 10 then they have a 10% vacancy rate when one is empty and plenty of positive cash flow from the others to still be positive overall. They also are building wealth for the future and when all are paid off then they are a great example of The Millionaire Next Door with assets that can always be sold or borrowed against. My prime directive is to work with investors who want at least the five Oklahoma City rental properties, and we have plenty of those. How we get there is tailored to where we are trying to get to and of course if you are 30 not 60 your timing would most likely be different, but we will create a strategy that is individual for you.

Investors in your area should call you to help them buy investment properties.
Hi Joe... that's a great recommendation to own multiples of properties and not just be dependent on the cash flow from one.
HI Joe,
It looks like you have the right perspective to help offset the costs of being a landlord!
Good morning Joe. Looking back, I should have invested in real estate instead of the stock market.
You certainly know what is best for investors, they are lucky to have a resource like you!
I didn't realize that Fannie Mae goes up to 10 mortgages for investors. I learned something new today.
CONGRATULATIONS Joe, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!

I have been a believer for over 30 years that owning real estate is a must investment strategy along with other things.
Hi Joe -- your advice and approach to investing is certainly a tremendous benefit for your clients. It seems as if inventory of available and appropriate properties for sale in your area is not an issue.
