Several ideas come to mind.Find an investor or two with "bigger pockets" cash wise than you do right now and cut them in on the deal.You offer to handle everything like rehab costs and the actual work of getting it done(dealing with contractors,real estate agent,etc) and just let them use their cash to pay for the initial purchase.An out of state cash investor like me might want to get in on a nice deal like that.Another idea is to wholesale the house for a smaller but,quicker profit.Get it under contract for a rock bottom tasty price and sell it to a bigger pocket investor before the deal closes.There are plenty of hard money lenders if you want the entire potential profit .Make them compete for your business.

I would love to hear your stories of investing in a down market, how you prepared for the "wave", your expectations v.s. reality, challenges and resolutions, and ultimately how everything - including the anxiety and uncertainty - payed off!

I have a stable W2 but i am feeling that I either need to acquire more property to build my portfolio quicker.  

Maybe you can gain access quicker that way

@Emily Shirk  in this environment a good lender is frankly just as important as the agent lots of moving parts these days with the new TRID rules a poor mtg broker can kill a deal for you quicker than you can say what the heck happened.most agents go with lenders they know like and trust because the deal gets done.

Another avenue for licensees who may need a quicker stream of steady income can be obtained by working for a Property Management company as a leasing agent.  

, closing terms (maybe you can close quicker than the others which may be more beneficial?)

I'd be interested if anyone else finds a good resolution.

I am looking for a quicker option to cash out my original investment so I can quickly acquire another.  

My reasoning: Larger Body Types = More wear and tear on the property.It looks like this has already been discussed, without resolution,  on bigger pockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/187...The overriding theme seems to be to not discriminate based on size.
