If the new owner pays on the loan its not "equity skimming" from what I understand of it.

Many of the investors I know have dialed back on their private equity investment or have changed to doing debt instead of equity so it was not prime time.

When we present a Subto for investors to buy, it has to have enough meat on the bone, all said and done, that the investor will still have equity and the property will cash flow.For instance, I have one I'm working right now, that has a high entry, because the seller wants some cash out to himself, but even with that, the buyer will wind up with $50,000 in equity.

If you have strong market knowledge and the ability to find deals, working in acquisitions for a syndicator or a real estate private equity shop could be a good fit. 

Gradually scale by researching high-growth markets, partnering with experienced investors, and exploring financing options like SBA loans.

@Karolina Powell Just some high level thoughtsDeal #1:This is probably something I would only be interested in if there's equity to be had right off the bat or soonish.

Are there specific lenders or servicers that are more likely to call these loans?

Bonus - the interest on the loan is tax deductible!

Once you get going, your appreciation will be great over time so you can recycle the equity to buy more and more properties.

To access your home equity without selling, you can explore options like a home equity loan, a line of credit (HELOC), or a cash-out refinance.
