Skipping Toy Shop SchoolTo open a shop, you need to learn the rules, take a class, pass a test, and even keep learning as new toy trends pop up.

These are questions I would ask and as you noted, if it seems to good to be true.....I have not dove into this in detail, this is just what the "sniff test" questions I would ask - could be a great investment for people - I am just telling you what I would ask. question would be who is the lender with a proven track record as you note Chris that would be important to know is the fixed debt investments ( loans secured by RE) bringing in say 8 to 9% and the equity in the MF is making up the difference with rental returns.. so say rental returns are 6% and the Notes are at 7% that equals teh 13%  ??? 

Stop with the gadgets, the AI and all the crap out there that offers you "shortcuts" for lead generation.THERE  ARE NO SHORTCUTS.The reason I am successful generating leads and most of you are not is because I did the gaahdamn work, the research, the testing, the tweaking and I perfected this.

Great people, intuitive platform, get their K1s out on time and returns have met expectations...one of the reasons I am invested in two funds at this point as the first investment was really to test the waters and validate I was a good fit.  

Those are great options for rolling renovation costs into your mortgage.

This is absolutely true . . . once the agent is rolling.

Lower taxes, no POS and lead testing. 

The condo I'm selling in CA could sell for approximately $600k, and I was thinking of rolling that into 2 condo/townhomes valued at about $250k each, then doing DST for the remaining around $100 for the 1031.

And how do I roll this into a cheaper mortgage (my dti would be too bad for another conventional).Maybe a lender would be able to consider the electric "working" with the proper inspection?
