Quote from @Keilon Morton: I am looking to secure my first tax sale and need another investor to go in on the deal.

You can borrow  against a 401k or another property you own for example, but that would a secured loan.

As I’m saving up for my first investment, I would like to learn more about the industry - and it would be nice to earn some income while doing so.Are there any specific skills or knowledge I need to secure a VA side gig? 

However, if I don’t secure an eviction order within the next two months, I’ll send him your message.

The second one to build a security net.I've simplified the deal a lot but... am I missing out something obvious?

We get just as frustrated because the system is a bit "broken":(I believe the team is in communication with you about your options - just be sure to also let us know your choice to secure the property to deter squatters as cost-effectively as possible.

But I also understand some people don’t really care about the cash flow as much as the security of not having to worry about a vacancy or whatever.

A mix of short- and long-term strategies could hedge against market shifts.Borrowing allows you to scale faster, especially if you can secure favorable terms.

Key point is WITH a SECURED border to stop the flood of 100k-300k monthly illegls. 

This also helped us in an unattended way when investing with my Solo 401k because banks treated the funds as liquid when invested in a public traded exchange versus in their fund and helped with securing better commercial financing on a deal because of the strength of our application in liquid assets.
