There are sites out there like passive pockets as well as this site where you can find out a lot from people who have invested with that fund.

My point is cash flow is only one source of return on RE and in my opinion the least desired because it gets taxed annually.  

I would like to invest in there funds below1.

You need to save up the funds.

Also, let me know if you’re ever exploring partnerships or raising funds for a deal—I believe in combining efforts to scale faster and smarter.”

Quote from @Juan Ruben Cortez: I believe the funding fee is 0.5% of the remaining loan balance, plus maybe another $500 - $1,000 in lender fees. 

He took a 401(k) loan to fund the down payment on a four-unit building in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood.

Meaning you may be able to do some cosmetic or smaller renovations like bathrooms or kitchens in your duplex when the tenants turn over and those smaller investments can demand higher rents, so in the longterm you may have more cashflow from the duplex to help fund a future investment in another property while you wait for market conditions to change.

What I'm planning: buy and hold the property, brush and clean it up with intent to hold until cost of funds drops a little in 4-6 months.

It sounds like the biggest fear is getting funding and getting started without making a big mistake.
