. - i'll take bad credit anyday if someone will pay a year's rent up front. that's golden.

But he just needs to find a lender that will do it after 6 months and he should be golden here - provided, of course, the 4 plex appraises out.And that, to me, is the real issue here.

If you know what you're doing and who supplies you with Golden Girl type tenants.  

I had also owned my own business in residential construction and fire & water restoration.Married 28 years with 4 kids, 4 grandchildren and 2 Golden's "Bob & Marley"I am looking forward to using this community to broaden my knowledge in the industry and obtaining our goals (which our still in progress).

After that, you will be golden.

Keep the full amount available to invest, invest in solid assets that you know and understand, and you will create a large sum of wealth to draw on in your golden years. 

Same situation here where she too "have to" incur only 100K debt for the 1031 exchange.There were many golden nuggets in this thread.

If you can get in at a 7-8% cap on a fourplex and take it to a 10% with some sweat equity, you are golden my friend.

They are golden!
