Hi, I have a current SFH rental. Cash Flow is not the best but have appreciation on the property. My goal for next year is scale and acquire at least 5 more properties (preferably multifamily). End goal is get into the commercial housing and industrial. I don't have much cash to put down for a property and don't have anyone to rely on to borrow capital. Wondering what are the different ways everyone got the money to put down on a property and the way to finance it? Ideally looking to cash flow positive on all properties.

Hi everyone,

Am looking on the BP community to find a CRE mentor! I could spend all my time reading and learning but I am visual learner and want to be able to learn funding, financing, analyzing, and owning commercial properties from an investor themselves. Overall the ins & outs of CRE. Might be a stretch but wondering if there are any investors who would be willing teach someone like me or where in the area I can find and connect with investors to learn from?

Hi Everyone,

Glad to be apart of the BP community! I purchased my first SFH a few months ago and have a tenant coming in soon. I was looking to purchase multi family housing but it my area where I live, there's other SFH or townhomes that come on market that I think would be a good opportunity to fix up and rent out. Spoke to my lawyer who advised that moving forward I should open an LLC to purchase my properties and so I did. But now that I think about it, would it better that I purchase a few properties under my own name to take advantage of conventional lending or just keep putting more properties under the LLC? I'm aware that if I don't do the LLC along with legal protection I'm missing opportunity to build business funding but wondering if it's better to take chance to buy the properties with a lower conventional down payment instead and maybe get more skin in the game than go the commerical funding route?

Appreciate any feedback!
