The table below shows what will be the least expensive option for the borrower for their loan based on time.

We all had a meeting the other night to discuss all our concerns and I brought to the table all the excellent information you all shared.

I like RE because I can fix stuff with my hands, but if an RE investor doesn’t bring a special set of skills to the table such as being able to source discounted properties, force appreciation through sweat equity, consistently making deals like the one you described in your other post, etc., they may be better off focusing on their day job and loading up on dividend stocks. $500/month cash flow and $70k profit on a single subject to deal is not the norm. 

You will need to bring some money to the table, but it will allow you to buy in cash and refi into a better loan (essentially the BRRRR method). 3.

They'll call it a solid "B" area when it's a "C-" area; they'll say it has great space for the price, but the rooms are all chopped up and not very usable; they'll say it has great amenities, but those amenities are a 30 year old dishwasher and a central hvac system that groans and clanks when it turns on.

Perhaps with a newer PM or a PM that wants extra money under the table, while I don’t think it is likely I do encourage you to ask out of curiosity and experience.

I have 40% down payment and amazing credit score and credit history.The issue is that I am self employed and I dont show any income on paper, so the bank won't consider loaning me money due to "low income" This is an amazing opportunity and I have it under contract but I'm about 100k short, how do I get that financing to get to the closing table?

They attract a lot of people to their table.

In other words, what experience/skill set do you bring to the table to make your expertise necessary? 

Only if multiple offers on the table.
