Once your emergency account has a reasonable amount in it, whatever that means to you, you might want to think about steering that payroll money into the investment savings account from each pay check and leave the emergency account money as is.

@Geoff Engel If you don't want to be a landlord but still want to be involved with investing you could be a private money lender for flips or in partnerships and bring the money to the deal.

I was able to get a private loan which I used to purchase the house then I used my own money to rehab the house.

Was looking for advice to sell at a good price point but ASAP and do I have to turn that money over to a new property right away?

I would suggest picking someone with the most forum posts or the most/best reviews that way you know they are actually active!

So I spent money and did not see anything from the inside?

So does anyone have any guidance and ideas or know any banks that do rehab loans were all the money including labor is upfront and then we pay a monthly?

I keep reading about all the weird financing issues in this space so I wouldn't actually put money in until mid 2025 or later.  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

Our company is actually starting an Asset Management Mastermind to address these infrastructure issues and share our systems and procedures.
