I ended up having about 10 abandoned vehicles / RV's (some looked like meth labs...think Breaking Bad).What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

But that extra $7200/year will go a long way in paying down your loan faster, build up another downpayment fund, pay off other debt, etc. 

It's not just any kind of car, and even if you buy the "right" vehicle, it has to be used 100% for business, which is rare.

Love that you are learning more about the investment vehicle and that you are moving onto step two where you are working your investment criteria as well as networking with sponsors alike.

Finance was a combination of a few different vehicles and ultimately ended with a HELOC which was then used to fund multiple other projects over the years.

Commercial loans are also tracked. 

Friendly reminder you can do a Conventional loan 95% LTV to purchase a home for them.

Quote from @William Causey: When choosing a private money lender, how do you weigh the importance of flexible loan terms versus fast closings?

Long term buy and hold RE in good locations is probably one of the lowest risk investment vehicles IMO, similar to blue chip aristocrat stocks except even less risky because even long-established companies can go out of business but real estate very, very rarely ever goes to zero. 

I have leveraged VA loans, not for this case though.
