Comes down analyzing what makes more sense for a given house i suppose. 

Aside from the financial resources, I suppose one skill is I write algorithms to distill signal from bulk data for a living, so if there are any other programmers out there please reach out!

it sounds like you're really eager to deploy a bunch of capital into supposedly cheaper markets, but you're not going to cash flow $500 on a random single family anywhere unless you are self-managing and super hands-on and prepared to deal with rough turnovers.  

In one deal referenced the poster highlights a major potential conflict of interest as Capella supposedly used an appraisal generated by the borrowers without disclosing this to investors, who later invested $3.9M to finish a luxury home Capella claimed was 80% complete.

Supposedly I'm on top of the priority list. 

What was supposed to be a $30k rehab, turned into a $75k one.

However, I suppose it depends on your situation.I know some people who borrow from their 401k or use an IRA to pull from.

Then the day before we were supposed to close they asked for another 3 week extension.

Suppose you have $46,000 mortgage at 8% interest on restaurant, $22,900 SBA loan, $3,900 at 1.75% interest on a microloan, $23,00 on temporary 0% interest credit cards all for the same business totaling $95,000 in debt.
