If a person does not have enough cash, is it better to put down the largest down payment possible to minimize monthly mortgage?

Not being able to obtain insurance on a home would have to be one of the largest nightmares for an investor, and I hope I don't find myself in that situation when I'm ready to buy in the somewhat-near future.

But this has put me in a position where I have done things I would not have done if I had not been in this position, and I am going to close the largest transaction of my life in the next few days.

I offer this:I am one of the top rated instructors for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), which is the largest building industry related association in the world.

I've looked at virtually all the SDIRA transactions(*2) in our county from the largest SDIRA player.

As Joel mentioned a HML is distinctly different from a JV.

For the most part it seems that some simple repairs and small updates would keep these places running except one unit.This unit was not touched in a while and it is the largest in the building.

There is also a distinction in taxation depending on whether you are investing in an equity or a debt deal.

That's the largest part to work on.

Those types of license are distinct from what @Rick Baggenstoss was discussing - Rick was discussing whether as the manager of a property you own would you need to be a licensed real estate agent.
