If I wanted to get investor to contribute to down pmt it'd have to be sitting in my account for 2 months. the amount I have saved up right now is $42K I'm a little lost on where to go from here as it likely will not be enough for the property.1.

Brandon Rindlisbacher thanks for the recommendation I'm looking them up right now.

Oh we met at the Portland meet up, right?

Really don’t want to use my VA loan on a single family, and then a house hack comes up right after I purchase the single family.

I was running one pre covid in Burlington...most people are not meeting up right now in groups unfortunately.

I was very impressed with what the locals have done to rid the area of crime (basically instilled martial law). 

There will always be people waiting,  and someone walking up right when you are locking the door to leave.  

I'm tearing up right now . just this last year I've read 40 books my goal is 60 this next year. all investors that help people that ask questions on here I want to let you know you make a difference in peoples lives no matter how small I am so great full and thankful for everyone here and so happy now. thank you so much. keep making a difference in peoples lives!

This assumes that the property is located in a market which has some appreciation, which many now do.From my perspective there are a lot less "moving parts" to owning a note if you purchase correctly and have your servicing set up right, there is inherently less liability since you don't own the property and the risk that come along with property ownership. 

If the project is in a desirable infill area this will work out about 30% of the time, if it's an average area I've yet to rope Ina buyer without an agent.Like Jeff pointed out prices of everything construction related are going up right now so unless you can be in and out of your projects in <90 days you run some supply side risk.
