That’s what “they” say anyways—- going to be trying it out here sooner than later as we grow!

I've read enough posts where others say that they wished they had formed a partnership earlier in their investing career because they would have gotten out of the "rat race" sooner. 

Is there anything I can do here to get financed sooner than the typical 6 month settle period?

. - don't confuse it with tax saving - the CSS allows you to accelerate depreciation (you get more of it sooner, and less of it later) so you have to factor that in in your tax strategy- it's good to have CSS done when you replace an item (you'll be able to claim loss deductions)- there is also an inheritance benefit - your heirs will benefit from a CSS in place.Maybe @Wes Mabry can offer more advice.

You might want more money per door on a property that has more deferred maintenance simply because you'll know you're gonna have some bigger expenses coming up on the property sooner rather than later.

I suspect the market to take a turn during the next reelection (Ray Dalio and alot of PE firms suspect the same if not sooner) and plan to purchase alot of properties and lots subject-to on the coast.

The sooner we realize that all of the negative things we were taught and told were bad, we'll be better off. 

@Danielle Zito We did this (reappraised a three-decker in Boston to apply for a HELOC to fund investment down payment on another, also Boston) and though rates are variable on the product we have, they're fixed for a period of time first - so paying it back is a priority.In terms of timing, it does take some time to get through the HELOC process, so you probably want to start sooner rather than later, but I would discuss with your mortgage lender as well.

Sooner or later I want them all out, but I want to use the additional person to increase the rent and/or evict them.

Having them on a 15 year product is cutting the cash flow significantly, but would allow me to pay them off sooner.
