@Steven T. I would lend out the $2mil for about 7% and live off the interest. Maybe perform a couple flips for the hell of it.

@Brady Inners Great business to get into. I haven't flipped yet but I have been buying distressed properties, fixing and renting them out. Feel free to connect and ask any questions, I'd be glad to assist. 

@Salvatore Lentini I'm hoping to get into the multi families soon. Where are you multis located? What is the average number of units for your multis?

Haha I know what you mean. It gives you tunnel vision sometimes. Since you're PRO, you have access to all the past Webinars, go back and take a look at the one on the BRRRR method. You can use that to your advantage. Good luck! @Angela Justis

Well, I think you'd be okay to refinance your current residence at 80% and pull $9,000 out of that. Use that money and maybe some savings to purchase a rental. You can do a lot with $9k if you utilize the BRRRR method and a hard money lender. I have purchased 2 properties with $6k of my own properties and have them rent. I plan on refinancing both and pulling equity out of them. This strategy eliminates the need to save for another downpayment, gives you instant equity and allows you to scale quickly.

I would go with a owner occupied 3-4 unit. That will make it a lot easier to secure a second loan since your first one will be producing income. Also, getting a multi on a VA loan is always a win win. A 3-4plex will also allow you to save the money you would use on your person home mortgage to save for a down payment.

Definitely require upfront points or you are leaving money on the table. I would charge 5 points considering it is only a $20k loan
