Over time I internalized Dave’s words and made them my own; taking on nearly all the fund investor calls, building and managing the Investor Relations team and overseeing the process of raising over $80MM together.

It's time to start the process as everyone else mentioned above.

This could allow you to use the full amount for purchasing real estate without needing to sell your stocks outright and incurring significant tax implications.

I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

Purchase price: $415,000 Cash invested: $90,000 MY FIRST RENTAL PROPERTY !!

Purchase price: $565,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Current Price: $599K (originally $649K, 67 days on market).

I’m currently going through the process of getting a HELOC and feel confident we’d be able to fund a purchase using that but using PML has ultimately been a goal of mine and would like to incorporate it into one of these purchases if possible. 

Make sure you understand exactly what they want to see and when, all through the build process.

Most of our loans are fully amortized and those that aren't, are 10 year balloons where we'll have more than 50% equity (at the purchase price) upon loan maturity in 2030+.
