However investing in DIRECT real estate investments differs considerably from investing in mutual funds, index funds, bonds, money market and REITs that most investors are familiar with.  

Assuming you have ANY other funds to invest instead, what’s the upside to using your retirement funds instead?

Of course each level grants you access to different things, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and if so, was it successful in helping you find funding? 

My biggest issue is that I’m using personal funds as owner contributions to these accounts and money moves from account to account on a consistent basis, so I’m trying to be diligent in proper accounting. 

Hi Everyone,I've been saving up and now have over $150k in liquid funds.

Consider a cash-out refinance or a small business loan to fund these repairs and secure the property long-term.

One applicant mentioned their desired move-in date in 9 months in the future but that move-in date is way too far from our earliest move-in date (2 months from now). 

Hi Mary,It is true the lender will not usually give you the rehab funds in advance, but this does not mean that you must complete all of the rehab out of pocket.

Move out time came and they hadn't even started looking for a place etc etc. 2 weeks out from the court date for the eviction they upped and moved and didn't even request the funds (not that I would have given it to them anyways because they were 2 months past the agreed upon move out date).

I have been struggling to get any kind of loan/funding.
