I go in and rehab for long term, and in the process I'm building instant equity.

In my opinion, it is the best way to ease your career into the big game because they offer a true apprenticeship while you build instant credibility as a Fund Manager with much lower risk and a lot less hassles.I am in the process of reviewing one of these companies right now and I like what I see because they will even pay me for co-managing! 

I would be able to bring together investors if an opportunity was ripe.That said, one idea my wife and I have is condo property near DU for instant cash flow.

I buy houses that I believe I have instant equity in as well however I also feel that a home sold, especially on the open market is sold pretty much at market value as it would have sold to someone else if the property is visible to many.I hope everything goes smoothly for you, I look forward to updates on the progress :)

perhaps that may be a decent short term solution however the accruing balance will need "cash flow," to pay it down eventually you'll have to sell your assets to cover your liabilities.Lines of credit are generally based on a fixed margin + prime so if rates rise your rate will rise instantly.

The secret, I'm told, is finding that right place that you can put some cash into for a little bit of rehab to add instant equity and then finding the right renters.

This is instant.

For all of us with less experience - this may be a very good way to add both instant income (from the down payments) as well as monthly income. 

I know that you're not planning on them really appreciating so I would make sure you have some instant equity for your exit strategy.
