I wasted 4 days to be certified, and it was proposed that they have all the funds to loan out.

House hacking helps with costs and uses current savings while waiting to save more cuts debt.

In this way I believe I cut the economic interest of the PM to continue create/find creative problems in order to rise their repair %. 

Either a) They are a “partner” to some extent or b) They will still want 20-30% down.To me, option B is a waste of time and money because I’ll still have to refinance to get my money out to do another deal.Option A would be fine if you can find someone to just put up money, collect their payments, and let you continue rolling it into future deals.

Conversely, you will run into people on your list that just seem to be a waste of time, so you’ll want to avoid them.

We are 6 months into a whole house gut job and I feel like we are wasting a lot of time.

There's not enough spread between your mortgage and the LTR rates to leave much of anything after they take their cut.

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

If investors do not account for this the likely hood is that they are losing money and the property investment is a waste of both time and effort to hold. 

I'm attracted to the duplex/multi-family option since I feel like I'm already very late to the REI game and want to jump in and not waste any more time.I've been a long time reader of BiggerPockets and there's so much great information on here.
