We want to return her money with interest in a year after Michael buys the property from us, and we’ll use the remaining money as seed capital for the next deal.

My two cents is to begin to put together a strong team and plant seeds for the long haul! 

Cultivating is harder than people thing, you have to plant your seeds and water them. 

You know, I have thought about this as well and began planting seeds not too long ago.

My wife and I have cleared out all our outside debt other than our present mortgage.We have a 3 unit property, a SFR with a duplex in the North Hollywood area, the tenants in the duplex are providing more than half of the mortgage.We are in the process of building up our seed capital to invest in flipping SFR's.

I am only contributing up to what the plan matches and nothing more.I also have a liquid savings account that I am depositing 40% of my pay into for my seed capital and first property (almost at my goal!).

@Shai Flax Hi!

I was told by my mentor to use the HELOC money as seed money to have in case I need it.

@Shai Flax I guess "early" is subjective, but 3rd and 5th wards are the two areas I was looking at when I was looking down there.

Hello, @Carmel T. and @Shai Flax, If you haven't found answers to your questions yet, I may have some ideas that can help.
