Financing rental properties may not be at the top of your to-do list when getting started in real estate investing. You may be more focused on deal-finding, networking, or figuring out how to analyze a real estate deal. But you can't get a deal if there’s no way to fund it, and that’s why rental property financing is one of the most important steps when buying a rental property.

After getting his first property under contract, he walked to the local bank, got financing, and didn’t think much about it after that. But, as Henry has expanded his portfolio, he’s begun to take on different types of loans, opening him up to a whole new world of real estate financing.
