That said, there are other creative financing options that might allow you to put down little or no money—like seller financing, lease options, or even partnering with someone who brings the capital.

@Daniel Carrillo if you have not connected with @Jackson Harris already, I would definitely recommend connecting with him and his partner @Jeremy Holden.

My partner and I keep an excel spreadsheet of rent, our purchases, utilities, taxes, insurance, and money spent on contractors.

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

However, my partners recognized my dedication and work ethic, and they offered me another investment opportunity.

You can tackle your scenarios pending what you have in the background working for you (debt, a helpful partner, your health, etc).

Quote from @Account Closed: For someone rebuilding their real estate business and looking to transition into larger multifamily deals, what’s the most effective way to position yourself as a valuable partner in syndications—especially when capital is limited but market knowledge, deal-finding ability, and local expertise are strengths?

The only creative way I can see (obviously not knowing enough details) is an owner carry with you as the operator and a JV partner as the financial backing.

He’s not a pushy salesman, and I’ve got a business partner who has worked with him for the last 10 years without any issues.As for your situation, I wouldn’t say it sounds like a Ponzi scheme, but I’d strongly recommend meeting with the fund sponsor in person and asking as many questions as you can.

Mfh is an unfair game because you need a partner to help you with the experience question when getting a commercial loan.
