Many of the investors I know have dialed back on their private equity investment or have changed to doing debt instead of equity so it was not prime time.

I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv). Are there other more creative ways to start cash f...

My names Charles Aiello, upstate New York resident (Rochester NY).

I still have plenty time left saving but when the time comes I’ll either be looking into conventional  loans, or some type of remodel loan to pay for the repairs of the property I am looking to fix up, because as far as I’ve seen so far it’s hard to find a good deal starting out unless you buy it as discounted as possible and put some sweat equity into it, let me know your thoughts on that ur possible.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

The buyer got an affordable home in exchange for doing the repairs himself (sweat equity), I got a cashflowing note, and my private lender got a steady interest payment.

I of course would need to look for the deals and do letter of intents on properties and find them and they would come with me to the closing table pulling out equity and then getting the cashflow.

Thanks,GeneOne can move old IRAs into a self-directed IRA (Equity Trust, Inspira/Quest, Etc.) and then use the funds to invest in or buy and hold real estate (also other alternative investments). 

If there isn’t significant equity capture at this purchase price, and it’s not in a great location, this would be a pass for me.
