Are you able to close the transaction (have enough money (and/or credit) ?

No one wants to put in the effort, work, time and money, into a healthy habit or - for real estate - into a solid asset.

If you don’t urgently need the money, letting appreciation and rent growth work in your favor for another year or two might put you in a much stronger spot.If your goal is to stay liquid while keeping expenses low, a HELOC is probably your best bet for now.

He needed to close in three weeks and didn’t want to deal with showings, contingencies, or the back-and-forth of working with a realtor.At first, we even suggested he list with an agent since he’d likely make more money.

I see too many investors now, put a significant amount of money in rehab costs and over leverage themselves on hard money loans with low down payments, their properties are not selling and they are lucky to just payoff their current hard money loan via a DSCR refinance. 

You mean I have to spend money on the place after I buy it?

The fund allows for money to come in and sometimes go out as needed.

If you are raising money in a syndication raising less than $1M can be challenging due to the setup and ongoing costs to manage and run it.

Quote from @Brandon Morgan: If you screw up a deal with a friend or relative, you will lose money and the relationship.

My deadline to back out of my real estate transaction and get my earnest money back was Dec. 12.
