Cash in 2 days is good enough for me.I'm not a big fan of owning actual bonds bought from the US government. 

.: In a prior post from about 2 months ago, Kerry Malarkey and Nathan Gesner mentioned a small landlord is exempt from FHA requirements requiring the acceptance of emotional support & assistance animals if one of the following is true:"Owner-occupied buildings Properties with four units or fewer that are owned and lived in by the ownerSingle-family homes Homes that are sold or rented without a broker by the owner, as long as the owner doesn't own more than three at once" (Quote from Nathan's reply))https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1219359-pitbu...Given this, if a landlord does qualify for the exemption, what exactly does this mean? 

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

Many lenders will allow you to do a BRRRR and take cash out, even without owning the property for 6 to 12 months.

Typical equity build up time is 5 years, depending on your market.But can you purchase another rental using your own capital?

Don't you put the sellers and the buyers on your own marketing lists?

We are about to put in $15-$20k of our own money into it, beyond what insurance covered and I need help deciding how we should finance it. 

I've vehemently argued against acquisition fees, syndicators that don't put a significant investment in their own deals, anything called a fund, large GP groups where you don't know who is in charge, and syndicators who ONLY raise money and don't manage the property, plus many other more minor sins. 

I can NOT do this on my own.

I specialize in working with Canadians that own property down here (I live in Palm Springs, we might be the snowbird capital of the world?).
