Turnaround is slower for you,  GC may not be available in quick fashion,  you may need to compromise and get less experienced /sloppy GC,  you don't have them to evaluate true rehab estimates before deal closes,  etc..

I've always found this sense of entitlement (that you should be the one who governs how my money is spent) entertaining... especially since I grew up poor in a gang-infested neighborhood.Seriously - How can I take you seriously, if you can't conduct yourself in an adult fashion and (on top of that) lack any type of business sense?  

@Anthony Maggio  never been but I have clients I have lent money to that swear by him.BP is pretty much anti guru in any form or fashion.. so keep that in mind.But do not take my comments like they are a ringing endorsement.. just relaying the one client I have who has made millions and credits Lindahl.

You can:- buy with VA veterans financing if you're a veteran for 0% down and potentially 0 closing costs- you can use USDA rural financing for a property in a rural area and if you fall under the area median income limits for USDA- you can use 0% down platinum FHA grant program- you can use regular 3.5% FHA programs with 3-4% down payment assistance state programs which essentially equates to 0% down since the DPA program may some times be enough to cover closing costs too or you can negotiate from seller for closing costs for total no down no closing cost scenario- you can make an offer with your name or assigns  on a below market property have a private investor come in for the down payment, split the equity in a negotiable fashion, and see if the seller will carry the remainder so you have no money down- just some ideas, hope that helps.

Or blamed me for setting up August as the start date for their payments, though that's what I originally wanted but the tenant wasn't able to get it set up in time.Until I see Cozy operating in a stable fashion for a few months in a row, I'm not going to be recommending it to any other tenants.
