In about two years I'll be looking at purchasing my first real estate investment.

I have a few prepiatary (i can't spell :smx6:) questions;

-Do I need to have a steady stream of income to take out a mortgage, even if the sole purpose of the mortgage is to buy an income producing asset? (apartment building).

Would it suffice to have, say a 20%-30% down payment, (most from investors that I offer equity, maybe in the form of a private equity firm).

Also if anyone knows of any good books on the subject of building wealth through real estate, I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks.:hurray:
