While Treasuries are often viewed as "risk-free" investments, certain real estate deals in today’s market offer a compelling alternative—especially when purchased at a deep discount.Take, for example, a 1,000+ unit apartment complex in a suburb near Michigan.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Without more info this sounds like a less than optimal deal.

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

The reason I ask is because most deals I see on Crexi or Loopnet or anywhere else create negative cash flow under 7 or even 10 year terms with 7% - 8% interest rate.

If you were me, just starting out, first property ever, would you use this money to find a BRRRR deal or use this money for possibly 2-3 properties for down payments? 

Interest rates decreasing a little more will be necessary to make this possible, too (DSCR loan).Also I will have another deal refinanced by then and gain about $70,000 of capital from refinancing that.

Personally I would not take a negative cash flow deal.

Instead of shelling out $60K for a $250K deal, maybe some of you can help me figure out (or give referrals) to title companies, etc, or give overall advice how to save me money from this enormous financial endeavor (closing the deal).Thanks!
