Same thing if Mike were to own an orchard and sold trees that Mike maintained, harvested, sold the product, then distributed to the "buyer" - an investment contract.Also, PL is not "investing with you" (equity). 

Personally, I feel like people nowadays tend to prefer open kitchens.

Hey Yall! im new to bigger pockets and trying to formulate a team to help me begin my real estate rental "career", in single family housing, in central Connecticut!  

Hi @Colin C leamy,Aside from pursuing a del using some creative finance and/or hard money, if you want to buy real estate  using traditional loan products, I will recommend you to improve your personal financial situation first. 

Starting as a systems engineer in a large, international corporation I eventually found my way into architecture (which felt like my calling) and eventually into an MBA program for a shiny Product Management opportunity coming up.At the same time I learned what my 401k really was (and wasn't) my company had a massive reduction where I watched hundreds of people lose...well, everything.

Velocity of growing a property portfolio will depend on "core" financing strategy, including equity management, mortgage products and financing resources, but a wholistic approach beyond standard banking will:- speed things up- open new options- mitigate riskTo obtain money for real estate, you can:1.

[feels right to me..] or do you look at it based on an ROA (evaluating the productivity of the unit/asset itself)?

No wrong answer here but my advice is to make sure your quality of product is matching the quality of tenant (income, credit) you're attracting. 

I think the biggest issue is that this is for my primary residence.I know there is the FHA 203k and Fannie/Freddie products that accomplish this, however, they take too long to close, and I'm looking to make myself look like a cash buyer that can close quickly and indefinitely in as is condition.Thank you!

It allowed me to be aggressive and conservative at the same time so I could pursue more real estate deals.You may have to work hard to find a product that works for you like mine works for me, but if you find it, it will change your life.
