Question

How many loans can a home investor be approved for in a year?

Answer 1

As many as they want, but they can not have more in escrow then they can pay, not counting the rent from those properties.

Answer 2

If they have the income and credit to keep getting approved there really is no specific limit.  However the bank is slow to give out loans and doesn't like doing several at once so though there is no set limit in real life it may be tough to do more than 1 or 2 at a time and they may take a month or so each to get approved (if you are doing 1 a month, thats one heck of a lot and you'd better have great income/ credit or the bank will cut you off eventually).  

Also, after so many freddie and fannie will stop taking them so you have to get conventional financing which is a bit tougher and you have to pay a bit more in fees/ points.
