This creates a negative initial position.

In other words, we are going with something that won't cash flow positive and we're okay with it.There are definitely cabins that will cash flow positive, especially if you get something smaller that is likely under $300K.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

I have funds tied up in other projects at the moment but my inbox is FULL of solid deals.We are familiar with some companies that do this.Som will only do first position loans so in many instances you need to refinance out through them and it can get expensive if you ahve a low interest rate.

Thanks for the feedback! 

Im at base pay since I Just started, top pay at this job is at 5 years and we make 100k base pay, there are guys easily clearing 160k due to OT and other extra money functions. we also have a lot of opportunity to move up in position, Supervisors clear 230k like nothing so right now I'm not making much but long term this is one of the best city jobs to work.

If you're not careful, the administrative requirements can trip you up—but when done right, the savings can be well worth the effort.For those of us scaling our portfolios or actively managing real estate deals, the conversation about structure isn’t just theoretical—it directly impacts how we protect our wealth and position ourselves for long-term growth.What I’ve found is that many investors don’t realize how critical their personal credit is in setting up these entities successfully and accessing the funding they need to operate and grow.

If you are not starting from a very strong financial position and you do not have the ability to quickly stockpile cash quickly from other means then I definitely agree with that statement from the book.

My last purchase i am up ~$1m working it very part-time over the last 3 years and i have some small (for the equity position, ~3k/month) cash flow.  

It has enabled me to maintain positive relationships with residents, staff, and investors.
