I am a fan of utilizing equity in existing real estate owned to build the rental portfolio though at the beginning, rather than just relying on money saved alone.  

We are late in the game but hopefully we can catch-up leveraging the plethora of knowledge that exists on this platform. 

Open to an existing home with a large lot/acreage.

With property churn and tenant churn, many opportunities exist from large scale design projects to smaller tweaks and "freshening things up".At either group/meeting, mention my name and ask for me. 

Do you understand the expenses and regulations involved? 

How are you comparing the cost of a new build to one with an existing duplex?

Just be sure to check the local regulations before diving in.

There are many duplexes and multi-family existing housing available to choose from. 

Looking to tap into it without doing a cash out refi to replace the existing rates with current rates.

.- Our current preferred return is 12% a year, for a 3 year term (keep in mind these funds along with the notes that they purchase exist within a marketplace so returns fluctuate depending on the offering). - ACH payments are received by investors on the 1st of every month, so participation in our fund is a purely passive investment vehicle that's open to accredited investors only (and like Patrick said above, accredited or not, anyone can purchase a note).As an added bonus, investors in our fund can redeem shares to purchase notes upon availability.
