By gradually optimizing operations and reinvesting in infrastructure, the endowment can support more affordable housing options without destabilizing the market or alienating investors.Currently, we’re integrating three plumbing companies under our organization’s umbrella.

Personally, I prefer to target tenants with full vouchers, as they won’t have to pay anything out of pocket. 

makes sense. so i actually did a 2-1 buydown FHA, i have a 800 credit score and locked in a 5.875% in today's market which is pretty damn good IMO... so the first year ill be at a 3.875% with about a $2350 monthly payment including prop tax/pmi/morg insurance/home owners insurance. lease is locked in for a year at $1400 a month which makes me only have to pocket roughly $1000. the way i see it, its cheaper than rent or mortgages in today's world!...

@Raymond Charles Gretz Welcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you the best in your investing journey!!

@Mike FigueroaI’m 54 and have scaled up by pulling equity out of what I’ve got (with cash out refis) so the new properties didn’t cost me anything out of pocket.

All of my buildings are three stories.

Bigger Pockets sent out an alternative investment article which included ATM investments as a suggestion. 

The way I'm looking at it, if my spouse and I only do employer matching for the 10 years we would have more than enough in there and still 10 years out from being able to access it.I do plan on doing 401k loans for deals if the numbers check out, and I've considered rolling over some of our 401ks into roth IRAs to access our contributions but we'd have to pay taxes out of pocket (a big hit to cash flow) and we couldn't touch it for 5 years.  

I have been listening to Bigger Pockets podcast for a couple of months now and I am learning so much but still in the beginning stages of learning how to jump in to real estate investing.

When a syndicator noted recently that due to 8 degree temps in ATL, THREE of their assets were wracked by frozen pipes bursting, it caused me a little alarm, a little worry---and then I went back to watching TV.
