It would be helpful to me at this time, to have about $25K in working capital for work on one of my multi-family properties.

Here’s a breakdown of some top areas:Cash Flow-Friendly NeighborhoodsWest Charlotte: Known for affordability and strong rental yields, West Charlotte offers opportunities in single-family and small multi-family properties.Gastonia: Just outside of Charlotte, Gastonia is a great spot for investors seeking cash flow.

Back when I was in finance, we had a broker who was charging a family 2% for management fees on their cash that was only making 0.3% at the time.

Even if you do find such a deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and a cash-out refinance is extremely difficult, especially for single-family homes.

My suggestion if your goal is to free up some equity to use for another purchase - start small with the single family home with a cash out refinance.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.

Five properties are student housing and 3 are multi-family.

They were seeking secondary homes for their family that could be rented to help offset costs and didn't require an immediate or transferrable permit.
