Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

HelloI am in negotiation on a property in Ohio.

In my home market of Florida, our insurance rates have made it much harder to have positive cash flow on a CRE deal.

Networking How did you finance this deal?

The institutional firms that do this type of lending (we deal with them every day) have to "securitize" the loans...meaning have their hedge fund/Wall Street backer bless the deal.

There was even one exceptionally kind Bigger Pockets member that seemed to know a lot about health and physical activity that we even chatted on the phone afterwards and he gave me some good pointers.  

As we evaluate deals, we're wondering if we're being too conservative with our estimates.

The rule of thumb is, if you can't handle the potential call from the lender, don't do the deal. 

How do you plan on finding your deals?

Most margin loans and SBLOC are Prime + or FFR +, and the ones Im familiar with are 8-13% right now.The only other thing I can think of is that if you're a HNW with a good relationship with your private banking team, maybe theyll give your a personal line based on your net worth and assets with them.
