Unless your rehabbing or doing ground up, its not really out there unless its from your buddy John.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I was at a CCIM luncheon recently and some of my lender buddies and I were discussing that many of their banks are getting out of multi-family because of rising costs to manage the properties...including taxes and insurance.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I'm going to ask my buddy @Russell Brazil to chime in here as he's golden on situations like this. 

I have a buddy locally from Indy who's wholesaling up there. 

@Dylan Robinson I've got buddies that used their VA loan to secure big beautiful plexes in DC.

@Jamie ParkerThe only justification for going to 10X is to snap a selfie with Uncle G and post it on Insta to "keep up" with your buddies.

Sure your buddy can buy a house for $1M and sell it to me for $100,000 - I will do this all day long but I do not think your buddy will.Whats the point of this post?

BUT, in finance, in mortgage brokerage arrangements, "investor" means your own money, not your uncle's money, not your buddies money, not borrowed money, your money.
