By purchasing a multi-unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others, you can cover your mortgage payments and start building equity while gaining rental income.

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!

Secondarily, if I had a buyer for the land before I close, could I structure the purchase to include them without doing a wholesale deal?

Do you know is it different today with the idea behind "subject to" purchasing in IL?  

I actually purchased a SF house with a two story detached garage in a nice area of brockton.

.• Hybrid Approaches:Some teams combine purchased lists with public records to cross-reference and validate information, which can improve call success rates.I’ve found that a bit of trial and error is often necessary to identify the right mix for your market and team size.

I’m NOT planning to wholesale—just creating more deal flow for my agent business.Back in 2020, I sent 500 postcards/month via DealMachine for about a year and a half this resulted in 2 off-market deals that I purchased.

Especially of investors that purchase multfimalies and run a short term rental business through them.

I purchased the property before my wife an I were married and only created the trust after my daughter was born.

My wife and I have an opportunity to purchase a property in South Lake Tahoe from her father.
