We deal with residential, commercial, new construction, multi family, and flips. 

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

The eleventh hour deal just fell through after we jumped through hoops getting them every piece of paper they needed to close this deal by tonight.

I agree, it could be possible but I have yet to see a deal that really works when the borrower is borrowing 100% financing on a deal as the lender is going to have much higher rates and default rates.

Unfortunately, every transaction is different, and oftentimes some transactions are more tricky to deal with than others.

I can deal with the cars, but we have huge semi's that make horrid noises.

Let’s be real: Not every deal is going to close. 

I'm sure you will need tools to find deals (eg price/sqft etc), estimate rents, calculate cash-on-cash returns, cap rate etc.
