Then you wouldn't have to give up any return by handing off your money to an accredited investor.  

Hi @Jorge Lopez appears the iOS version of the bigger pockets app has been pulled off the App Store, usually that happens because apps are not getting updated to meet current standards but I would have to defer to the BP team to clarify. 

You came along last year and bought the property for $300,000 as an investment property.So in year one, your taxes were based off the previous owner's purchase price of the $100,000 plus any annual tax increases since they owned it.  

Now taht real estate has gone back to the good ole days of not being an appreciation machine and a good investor needs sound fundamentals in managing and overseeing the properties - now you are given the wave of "creative finance" which comes off as its easy to get a home but it will be interesting to see how these people are fairing in a few years of mismanagement of these assets. 

I have a large network plus in depth knowledge of the process to get a project like this off the ground. 

This would help you get going.You might be able to make these a  little nicer and force appreciation and a little higher rent.Either way rents will go up over time and the mortgage with remain constant.Maybe even make one unit a STR which could see higher income.I'd be ok with break even or a little bit negative on a Quad given you have 4 properties in one.If you're only breaking even you still have depreciation and other tax write off to help you out.I usually make people 3 offers.

I was not comfortable with the market and interest rate conditions, so I elected to hold off.

But since i rarely held more than a year all the others got paid off quickly so I did not have to do all the hidden tricks to try to fool the bank or well not fool the bank or servicer but make it harder for them to figure out I was now the owner. 

With current interest rates, and they are at least 1% higher with potentially additional points for non owner occupied property, it is hard to find properties that will allow for positive cash flow after paying the mortgage, if you are looking for money for the down payment from a private lender, those are normally at higher than market and I am not sure it would be possible to pay it off.... please remember you need to take into account that you may not have a tenant for a certain amount of time, a tenant may stop paying rent, or you will have a big ticket item to fix, so I would wait if I were you and save to have enough for the down payment and closing costs and perhaps some money set aside for repairs. you also want to make sure that you have your own emergency fund outside of the money needed for the investment property because life happens ....

Even if straight off a cliff.
