I chose wholesaling due to limited funds as well as the fact I believe it would be a good way to network out of the gate. 

Man after my heart - no money down is the exclusive gated community I live in :)Welcome to BP, @Neil Krebs!

Shot taxi times.. when you land the high speed turn off from the runway puts you right at the gate in a matter of 60 yo 90 seconds.. same when you light the fires.. you taxi 1 to 3 mintues and your at the departure end of the runway and never more than number 3 for take off..  

To do a cash out you need 6 months seasoning...which is shy I do the Equity Loan out of the gate so I can out my cash back to work ASAP

To all of us who have other options but are not likely to be the next Bill Gates or Sam Walton, there is still something that we can do that will yield out-sized returns and create significant wealth.  

In any case if you have never raised funds, is a big raise for your first time out of the gate.  

I'm researching a SFR property that is off-market and then realized that it's in a gated community here in South Florida. 

It has a separate side entrance and we could move the side gate so that the backyard is still ours. 

Although I have money to invest, I would much prefer to partner with a veteran investor who I can learn from, rather than going solo right out of the gate.

If you don't follow the procedures to the "T" you leave the gate wide open for the tenant to bring in an attorney who specializes in wrongful evictions - and you know how that will go.
