I am planning to offer an equity position to a friend in a property I am currently in the process of refinancing.

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

Getting an appraiser out there in the property is always best while the property is vacant. 

Here are some pictures of the properties that I have there to get an idea of the style of properties that I have with parters.

Hi Gina,After managing hundreds of properties and working with investors for over 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your background and the systems you’ve built—especially having three contractor teams ready to go.

Now, you can try to find a property that already has a section 8 tenant.

Quote from @Christian Mejia: We recently purchased our first investment property in Florida with the assistance of Rent to Retirement and I just wanted to say it was a smooth process.

I'm working with Michael White, Real Estate Sales with Midtown Property Management in Harrisburg, PA.

The past 2 1/2 years I’ve flipped some properties and have wholesaled some.

I have a property I'm considering seller financing with a wrap mortgage to a buyer, I'm currently refinancing the home and have the option to not escrow the taxes and insurance, which lowers the payment about 700/ month on the 1st position mortgage, BUT would escrow the T&I on the wrap mortgage. has anyone structured it that way what would be the pros and cons to structuring it this way?
