Because we have a very large community of investors that buy thousands of homes across the country every year, we are able to negotiate better buying opportunities (and loan options) than you would likely find on your own as an individual investor.

Hey Account Closed - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

Used to keep small loses into becoming lawsuits.Normally offered up to $5,000 but check to see if higher limits are available.7.

Yes I know about the VA loan (no down payment) and VA disability payments, more on that later.  

@Jeff Roth why do you think there is such a small number of realtors who are investors?

I have been trying to save up money but it is not near a down payment for a traditional loan.

We realized the screws we were using were too small for the door hinge and we just had to finish that small bottom corner.1/26/25 - We went to Lowes and picked up some 1 1/2 inch door hinge screws (sound in the screw/nail section) and went back to the rental.

If you used a loan to rehab your property and find yourself in a difficult position, doing a straight refi (just paying off the old mortgage) will be easier than trying to pay off the original loan and take additional cash out.

This is the structure we were looking at which is more of a subsidiary structure and this applies to raw land development: 📌 Structuring Plan1️⃣ Set up a QOF to raise capital from investors.2️⃣ Create a QOZB to handle hotel & parking development (each separate land parcels).3️⃣ QOF owns the land & funds QOZB for development.4️⃣ Raise capital through QOF equity, bank loans, or JV partners.5️⃣ Develop the projects & operate for 10+ years for tax-free gains.

This also probably ensures that they will continue to depreciate against the US dollar over time.
