I'm trying to decide the smart investment decision - continue renting it out at a lower rental rate OR selling it and trying to find a potentially better performing asset to re-invest those funds in.  

Recently, we created the first (as far as we are aware) residential assisted living focused fund and have successfully raised for multiple homes, giving our investors and us exposure to the cash flow, and equity upside that comes from owning the real estate and the business.

I don't feel like I weighed all my options before purchasing because I was on a tight timeline - so for my next deal this is my question for you: If you're just getting started on your first flip and you had ANY funding source available to you - what would be your recommendations of top 4 funding sources in order of your preference? 

Our son is 23, through a trust we have staged him to get funds at 30 and 40.  

Down side, your 2nd usage of a VA mortgage will run you 3.3% on the VA Funding fee (but it is financed into the loan), unless you get any disability from VA. 

@Francisco PineiroYou could call a few home inspectors in the market you are investing in and see if they do draw inspections so you know the items are correctly done before sending funds

You'd be better off building a solid emergency fund and developing relationships with reliable local GCs.

Turn-key would likely be the smoothest, but I am open to a fixer upper if the numbers work.As far as the unique funding, I am an equities investor with accounts held in trust and therefore my taxed income is quite low which limits my options unless I opt for a portfolio loan or separate entirely through a DSCR loan.

One problem that many people can run into especially at our young age is funding!

What is a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF)?
