I suppose my disconnect is.... it doesn't make sense for a private investor to give you thousands of dollars to sit in your account waiting for the right deal to pop up.... just to satisfy that 60 day rule. 

They may be able to get this satisfied and moved on. 

Fascinating reading for anyone who wants an up-close look.But I also agree with others that $2000 / year probably isn't going to satisfy folks who want to be "wealthy." 

I'm seriously considering combining 2 of the 4 units and calling it a 3plex to satisfy Quicken and avoid dealing with the city.

This means if you default, they can come after you personally IF and only IF the collateralized property is not enough to satisfy the obligation.

@Jeff PiscioniereIf you are looking flip 4 properties per year then the ROBS 401k may be a good fit provided the following rules are satisfied.

It's surprising that people don't shop around as lenders treat loans differently depending on whether they are flush with cash, or needing deposits to satisfy their ratios.
