Experience?) 

If that means renting out part of your residence, that's great for cash flow and experience. 

I did not read anything other than your title and my answer was YES.

If you’re able to dive deep or work with someone who has boots-on-the-ground experience, the returns can be very rewarding.Good luck with your journey, and feel free to reach out if you’d like more insights or resources on Detroit!

@Helena Lee, I do not have experience with it, BUT I would expect to pay capital gains on the bitcoin. 

Read books, network, research markets, and plan your strategy.

Quote from @Kyle Kline: Hello,I am curious if anybody has experience using short note investing to raise funds for an investment property down payment.

I run a MTR out of my primary bedroom and would be happy to connect and chat about your plans and what my experiences have been.
