You are in a great position at 38...As the values of the properties seem fairly low I am wondering what type of rent are you getting per month on the current properties. Before I would run on 5th mortgage I would see what I can do to improve the rental income on the current properties.
What type of property are you intending to buy...380K would buy a very decent house...
http://www.icsmortgages.ie/ are well worth speaking to ...they are good to deal with and prepared to work with seasoned investors like yourself. Anyway contact them via a broker... Where are you based ??? Dont have to be too specific in case I will recognise the ladwith the 5 houses and have the nation after you to give you a flogging for providing accomodation...(end of rant
