However, using your first property as collateral for a 0% down loan might not be realistic in the private or hard money lending space.

I recommend just getting to work with someone who has a strong knowledge of the investment space and can connect you with multiple options.

I primarily do glamping in Texas and have quite a bit of experience in the space.

With just 5% down (yes, I paid PMI initially), we moved into the main bedroom, used the small first-floor room as my office, and rented out the other three bedrooms on Airbnb and Furnished Finder.

Their previous lease includes a portion of storage in the basement with laundry access(also in basement).Current set up: tenant occupies floor #2 with separate access to the basement for their laundry and storage.Future plan: reno basement and remove storage/laundry access for tenant.

Perhaps refinish existing wood floors rather than install new LVP to save money.

Hi---Great to hear you are connected with padsplit as they seem to be the experts in this space. 

This ensures enough space for the homes, parking, and any additional amenities while maximizing land use.Project Scale: To reach an institutional-level deal, you'll typically need at least 100 units.

Cubicles, bad bosses, TPS reports (Office Space reference) are all great motivating factors. 

The "slow flip" I am referring to was purchase the property in the traditional financing way and then live there while rehabbing and improving (adding bedrooms, getting the yards back in shape, updating finishes, building or adding shop space, etc.).
