I can tell you these facts:SFH lots of times do not qualify for max cash out options b/c the rent can'y support the max loan payment.2 - 4 unit houses always have a 1.5+ DSCR and never have a problem affording the max cashout...STR rental structures blow LTR rental structures out of the water. 

I never investigated further.I always questioned his recommendations because at the price/rent point he was advocating, the maintenance/cap ex would consume too much of the rent unless actively self managed.  

While it's one thing for BP to allow these discussions between members, it's an entirely different matter to actively participate and advocate for one side or the other.

But why blow 15k on his bootcamp when instead you can spend 1k for someone else's, get the same knowledge and network, and buy a 14k note?

Otherwise, this is just blowing off steam.  

Account Closed  absolulty I would in no way advocate second position or gap funding in any way.. for those that do not have extensive real estate and construction experience.

(which blows my mind how many people think that if they take equity from a property they do not view that as borrowing)...  

I am a big advocate of home ownership, but in the situation you are describing (not knowing how soon you would leave), it might not make the most sense to buy a condo with restrictions or potential assessments in the future.

While it's not completely unusual for deals to die at the table, if enough happen in a row you generally need to look in the mirror - what is your role in blowing up the deal?

The fact this type of topic exists is mind blowing.
