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

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

Milwaukee REIA is a resource for finding mentors, contractors, and connections to funding sources as well.

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.

The trust has already been set up for estate planning and we are beginning to fund the trust.

What is a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF)?

Baseline says users receive the funds in “as little as 2 days”.  

Additionally I don’t want to dip into my personal primary residence rainy day fund.

I wired the funds on 2/14 so it was a pretty nerve wracking 7 days... 

I plan to self-manage these properties and intend to operate my portfolio as a business, tracking all income and expenses while avoiding the commingling of personal and business funds.
