If you don't have $3-5M of dry powder to deploy then you are going to be in for a long journey because remember, without the W2 income lenders are going to be more concerned with liquidity so some of that money has to sit on the sideline.

Not only the initial fees, but there are also liquidity requirements, i.e. $300k loan needs to show $15k liquid assets, and draws typically require you to pay contractors and obtain a lien release before you can be reimbursed for the money you paid contractor.While I know there are a lot of people who use low money down loans to get started, it is risky.  

I think it's super cool but I'm having a little trouble completing the puzzle - I know it makes sense, but I'm not quite there.  

Building a sport court will run like $30 grand, but would increase your rental value. a 6bedroom 4 bath house with a sport court, hot tub, fire pit, mini golf, arcade etc. will most likely crush it because it's cool.

I think working on getting liquid capital for these projects is step one for me.

Speaking of loans... how much $$$ do you have liquid, what's your budget, and what neighborhoods do you want to buy in?

Airbnb rejected claim stating it could have been in toilet previous to guest that experienced the blockage (no way, nothing but liquid was going past a vape in the s trap).  

Liquidating the property is by far your best bet. 

Also, consider the impact on your liquidity—ensure you won’t need that cash elsewhere during the project.Off-Market Deals: These can offer better margins.

Go over and see if you can put liquid plumber or something in it to clear it....take a snake and plunger just in case.
