Financial objective- 100% to 400% cash on cash or don't do it.

GoalMy objective would be to go with a MFH, 2-4 units, higher would be better.

The property would be in a C+ to B- type location, with cash flow as the main objective and appreciation second (75/25 split).

The relationship between a broker and real estate investors is built on trust, transparency, and a mutual understanding of goals, which ultimately leads to successful transactions and long-term partnerships.Firstly, a competent private money broker begins by understanding the unique needs and objectives of the real estate investor.

Our primary objective as coaches is to help clients ask the right questions, develop the right criteria, and identify potential red flags.  

You will rush, pay people who you think can help you, you will try creative finance and sub to and fail, you will be too eager to grab shiny objects.

I do have a little objection to your "I used OPM to pay down my mortgage...plain and simple" comment, inasmuch as you still owed those "other people" all the money that they fronted you, until your money paid them off, right?

However it still doesn't solve my other objective.

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

Can the lender object to you closing in a Trust?
