Hello Bigger pockets just dropped the blog link attached with current hedge funds buying single family homes .

I was drawn to real estate as a way of investing money I have saved up (around $130K with additional funds to leverage out of a 401K if needed), and potentially creating reliable cash flow over the next 10 years. 

How do you plan on funding them?

This is day to day spending, rent collection, tax/utility payments etc. (1) account for all security deposits, (1) account for parachute fund, capex items etc.

The median home price is also very low nationwide which creates a low barrier to entry.

Rents are generally low there as well, but definitely stable.

This can not be said about many 100k properties.Turnkey providers made sense IMO back in 2010-2015 when it was easy to find deals, but hard to get funding, so you'd sell the ones you could not get funding for.

I personally leverage, but have a large rainy day fund. 

And then what will your funding look like? 

Here are some general guidelines: Lien Position1st Position LienEquityMinimum Down Payment of 20-25% (a 30% equity to sale price is preferred)Down Payment made in certified funds and not borrowedMaximum Funding of 70% ITV (Investment to Value)SeasoningMinimum of two monthly payments already made12 months or more preferredPayer CreditCredit Score of 650 or higherNo major derogatory trade lines (No 90-180+ days delinquent, foreclosure, repossession, bankruptcy, etc.)No decline in credit since purchase of businessTermsPrefer 60 months or lessMaximum of 72 monthsNo Balloon Payment preferredCash FlowBusiness has positive cash flow1.25 debt service coverage ratio preferred.DocumentationPersonal guarantee from a creditworthy individualStandard documents including Note, Security Agreement, and UCC-1 filing.Tax Returns on the business that substantiate profit and loss statements.OtherPayment history current and verifiablePayer Interview indicating buyer is satisfied with business and comfortable making paymentsMotivation for selling the note is not a result of a deteriorating businessConsideration of high risk businesses or geographic areasIn these situations, sometimes a partial is a better option.
