I highly regret not being further ahead of where I am currently financially to where I could provide more comfort to those I care about during their vulnerable times in their life.You see, wealth is not just about you.

I am hoping this gives me a head start in funding the initial investments.I also have some high balance liquid assets, but I am putting all or most those funds into other investment vehicles to diversify my holdings such as stocks, bonds, etc.

It’s worth looking into now to get ahead of it, but also depends on your comfort level and goals.

U invest in the fund and there is no debt ahead of you you own the debt free and clear the only risk is they buy the wrong debt and the underlying collateral does not support the investment.. which is why you go with folks that have a lot of experience in the space and now how to value the collateral.

Layer on the ability to invest the funds that otherwise would go towards the down payment and transactional costs and you likely come out ahead in such a short term horizon renting.
