If you have $50K, instead of putting it all into a single property, split it into 4-5 pots of money to fund 4-5 leveraged deal. 

Brett Favre would make 10 million a year sitting on the bench.. because he was a part of a team....:)

It is great that your husband works in construction as labor is always the biggest cost associated with rehab and my wifes commision sweetens the pot every time we do a deal.  

So my question/discussion is concerning Tax incremental financing (TIF), this seems to be a big pot of money in many areas.

By bright future, I mean 1) Population growth2) Vibrant tech community and tech jobs3) Sustainable Job growth and entrepreneurial soil.4) Great year-round weather, mild winters & an excellent lifestyle.5) Low business, sales, and property taxes6) International city7) Immigration gateway city, melting pot of all cultures8) No history of natural disasterAtlanta possesses all 8, and is known as the NY or the LA of the South. 

Why not just buy them, with down payments from your pot of money, as you find them?  

CAP rates vary by market but as an example, if you are comfortable with your purchase price on the larger facility, you might just use that CAP rate as a bench mark for this smaller one.  

In that sense, you can't execute anything without planning or having a thought process, if you get the urge, you'll plan to get to the bathroom before you get to the pot.

Having funds is a great advantage over the don't have a pot to piss in crowd, however don't let it make you lazy as you can start buying lousy deals just because you can!

I don't know if I've ever recommended a company before, but we bought one of their tables and benches to go with  it today for our kitchen rehab and we're very impressed.
