We invest in every property type, in cities across the country, with different syndicators or private partners.

Credit cards have the same limitation on the amount you can borrow and will likely end up costing more than private lenders.

I’m curious to hear from private real estate investors who’ve faced unexpected insurance claims and were protected by an umbrella insurance policy.We often see discussions whether investors should use an LLC or an umbrella insurance policy.

Quote from @Taylor Kendrick: Am I alone in feeling like I'm being sold this idea rather than OP being genuinely curious about the community's thoughts?  

While I don’t yet own investment properties, my wife and I have successfully remodeled and sold a home for a profit, and I’m eager to build on that experience.

Very unlikely unless you find a private lender/individual to do this as a one-off. 

Any advice on securing financing for potential buyers would be greatly appreciated.Personal Experiences: If you’ve owned, sold, or rented out a geodome, I’d love to hear about your challenges, successes, and any tips you might have for marketing or managing this type of property.Thanks in advance for your insights!

So it was going to require more tenacity by you to get the deal sold either way.  

Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income. 

I did get my GC license which in Oregon is all law so it was simple test for me. so now here we sit 500 or so spec / pre solds later and well its been a wild ride..
