I believe I hear what you are saying though, for sure -- that it's better, more fair, and more likely to get deals, if you yourself can show up to the table offering something.... in hard cashbut you still have to know how "fix and flip" works, how to renovate something, how to negotiate.... what contracts to do, how long things take.... etcthat was the concept I liked about Gator, is that it's a team that passes that niche off to the other person, who is good at that - and they can all structure deals together.... you have the deal guy.... the money guy.... the fix and flipper guy, etc. -- and they find deals that could be good for all of them - and everyone is helping each otherI think BiggerPockets will be a potentially pretty reliable place - I know that there's different roles, "finders", "buyers", "sellers".... maybe I can just find deals, and connect people together, and get some kind of small finder's fee for it, or something.... ok so that first 10-20k is important to just be able to provide - when getting into this....

We go by a simple concept, just do what you agreed too in the contract, nothing more, nothing less - if that happens then we all win.

I didnt know that the HELOC thing was classified as debt acceleration, and I would like to understand that concept more.

A lot of this content was produced in the mid stages of a vacation rental frenzy, and those concepts don’t necessarily work any more.

It was the second book I read, I have all the notes, I'll share here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1blQFIKSls6JDHdl7srVMhXd8...The book mostly talks about investing in different states, and how to keep contractors honest, and monitoring renovations, but many of the core concepts are the same.

Buying a single-family home with a detached garage and converting it to an ADU is much simpler.

.- The asset management is too expensive- The management required the LTV to be lower than 50-60 percent otherwise they don't even talk to you :)The concept is great in paper but doesn't work unless you have large equity and expensive assets.
