Hey all! Introducing myself here; I am a former biotech scientist turned to real estate professional. I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis. Wanna know what they have in common...

Quote from @Kyle Kline: Hello,I am curious if anybody has experience using short note investing to raise funds for an investment property down payment.

I know most BP note investors deal in SFR notes exclusively, or at least mostly, and for myself 98% of my note investments are notes secured by commercial properties.  

We have some leads on assets in the humboldt / jackson area in tennessee and looking to connect with investors in the area.

Hey @Sundone Boutvyseth,Mountain America actually has a private loan program for Utah investment properties that is only 10% down.  

Since you prioritize appreciation over cash flow, focus on DFW areas with strong job growth, infrastructure investment, and limited housing supply—such as Frisco, Arlington, and Rockwall.

Cleveland stands out as a great option for real estate investments.

I do well, at least enough to go on vacations as a family, put money into high yield savings accounts, max out the ROTHs and add to investments when I can with money saved in savings and checking accounts.

But I think any experienced investor would agree that if you aren't doing value-add when it comes to real estate investing, you aren't actually investing.

I'm trying to get better at LTR investing.
