Advisory boards are generally more of a seed funded startup concept and I haven't really seen them used heavily in the real estate space.  

Pets tend to use the facilities wherever, so carpet replacement, re-seeding the lawn, and scratch marks are some of the damages you can expect when you let a dog into the property.

I'm using a VA loan to refinance my primary residence to build up my seed money and since that rate was so low and knowing I would be going with a conventional loan (if I couldn't find a private lender) I wanted to be conservative in that as well.  

Has anyone ever used a personal credit card for Seed Capital to use on construction for a flip? 

Don't rationalize any numbers, or use anything other than cash (i.e. equity, appreciated gain, tax deductions, ...) since those other items are NOT CASH.3 - If you have a negative number, that means you get more cash back in your deal, within the first year, than you spent (so in this case...used)...and you have a winner.4 - If you have a positive number, that means you have spent money to buy this property...your money.5 - If you fall into the #3 category, you have recovered all your initial cash (seed money).  

Next time start the seed a bit earlier if your looking to save money.  

Would it be theoretically possible to use an ICO for seed capital or equity capital to buy a large property?

Your example is 101,750 a year cash flow over the 20 year period you mentioned....and as I noted you are basically eating your principal all that time and have little left when you sell at that point....NNN leases are out.From your example:"$2,035,000 Accumulated Cash Flow (NOI)If you put that same "seed" money into the stock market...or almost any other investment, that money is "parked" there the same way.However, if you used that same $2M as a 20% DP on a NNN worth $10M, with a minimum of a 6 CAP (I know, you want higher, I just focusing on the minimum you want) you would have a debt service of around $560k/year...which would get you your $30k.  

That one could have gone in an entirely different direction.My balance with PoL is zero now; however, I did invest in the company when they did their seed round. 

So if you invest in Real Estate, Stocks with Dividend, even your JOB to be a Cash Flow.These Cash Flows provide the seed money for your Investments.
