Many investors prefer to take out the full $100k upfront, even if they don’t use it all right away, as it avoids extra costs down the line.

That's not everyone's natural niche haha

It can still work in niche situations but I think it is a grind and you gamble time and money. 

It wasn't until I narrowed my focus on ONLY ONE THING general contracting that things fell more into place...My advice is to educate as much as  possible and find a niche that you can dive deep into.Meeting in person is where I found some of my best friends and mentors in the space.  

But now I prefer to keep fewer debt free quality properties, which are easy to keep rented with great tenants, and check out of the leverage game.

I can get a conventional loan, however, I would prefer to use a hard money lender or private lender to fund my first deal.

Since our goal is to scale in real estate and we do have the funds, we would prefer to minimize the deposits and invest into reno where necessary and keep the capital for now for improvements, if they arise.

I use Innago as a portal to issue invoices, can that be a preferred route? 

List to last.In what ways of your broker's business operating and generating business is not compliant with the niche you want to go after?

He is wanting to give preference to cash buyer and I can do that but just want to know how this type of deal goes, etc.
