Start small with a property within your budget and skill set, using HELOC for funding.

I have a background working with banks, hedge funds and large infrastructure developers, and have been told my sales and negotiation skills could be leveraged in real estate, particularly in wholesaling.

If it’s not used, I treat it as reserve funds.  

On the private side, we fund in a couple of weeks.

But these do have drawbacks, typically in lower LTV, prepayment penalties, etc.  

I'm trying to decide the smart investment decision - continue renting it out at a lower rental rate OR selling it and trying to find a potentially better performing asset to re-invest those funds in.  

If I put up 1 BTC ($10,000) as collateral, I can use a multitude of platforms to get a 30-70% LTV of cash in my bank.

Recently, we created the first (as far as we are aware) residential assisted living focused fund and have successfully raised for multiple homes, giving our investors and us exposure to the cash flow, and equity upside that comes from owning the real estate and the business.

I'm interested in their note/equity funds.

Our son is 23, through a trust we have staged him to get funds at 30 and 40.
