This is a fundamental rule to finance that most on the site get backwards as well, including those that promote the brrr strategy.

When we got promoted or got a re-enlistment bonus, we'd set aside the extra money instead of spending it, and that would go for down-payments.We also bought newer houses so that renovation was not a concern to us, and then we used a property manager. 

You're confusing turn key companies with promoters.

How will you promote it?

@Zk LaniMain questions my company looks for: (FYI we don't lend in SC so this is for information purposes and not promotion)This is for a 100% HM loan that covers both purchase and repairs for new or experienced investors with low document requirements.Before you have a property targeted:1) Bank statements showing roughly 10% of the loan total on hand.

For my pt job i demanded a pay raise and ended up getting promoted to supervisor as a part time employee.One interesting thing that i did for extra cash that im pretty proud of was my side hustle.

Working for a raise or promotion, switching companies, cities, career fields - that’s what I did, while keeping expenses low.

i would guess 1/2 of the benefits used to promote Muti-family are bogus in the sense they are no different than SFHs.

@Rupert GrantWhat really matters is whether the Solo 401(k) provides any tangible benefit to you.
