But don't move here, it sucks : )$135K in two years is a handsome profit indeed - even for the city that sucks. :-)Kudos,Mary

Congratulations on you taking this bold step to progress to the REI stage.The good thing is that you have a lot of tools in your toolbox and they are in demand.Yes, there are lots of investors on this site that you can partner with and share handsome profits in your undertakings.  

We made 10 separate investments all way under $50,000 and used private "hard money" for the rest and profited handsomely.  

@Bryan Hancock  just add the money you would pay to set all this up and stay compliant to your investors,  IE give the investors a more handsome return and I bet you will find all sorts of money without having to do any of this...just forget about the 25 to 100k investor.. they are the hardest to please and most costly to manage.

I learned that there are still foreclosures even in hot markets and that I didn't have to invest a large amount of my own money to make a handsome profit.

@Handsome Contreras how are things going with this one???

You're talking care of one roof, one yard, one property so it should cut down on work.On the other hand, some people don't like to rent attached homes.

Most investors know that they will have to sign a PG, and are willing to do so if the project pencils out a handsome profit, but investors will want a "risk premium" for signing a PG. 

On the other hand some people cash out the maximum amount and utilize it for the next deal.

while it can get pricey upfront, in the long run I've seen it pay for itself quite handsomely.
