Believe is not as creepy and dangerous as many investors wannabe tell you).Recently and as I am dedicated to finances we created a specific and simple SPV (special purpose vehicle) to deploy foreign money there. 

Our real estate investors on this thread should get as much OPM as they can before deploying their own equity.

Unlike margin loans in brokerage accounts (right now can borrow at 1.6% interest rate for balances over 5 mm$) where the borrowed money is deployed in investments outside the brokerage account and continues to grow within the brokerage account too (e.g. invested in index funds) because they were not really pulled out of the brokerage account. 

I put money in and it funded on a Friday, I put in to take it back out that day and it was back in my account the next day ready to deploy in other investments ect.   

@Ron Singh beyond the questions you’re asking, I think it’s important to consider how much capital you are deploying.

You have to think of everything that goes into it, from design choices, capital deployment, managing costs/payments (you should get paid for managing the rehab, just as he gets paid for bringing the deal), liquidation, etc.

If they have good positive cash flow I'd refi or HELOC to deploy the equity into more doors. 

You are already ahead of others your age.In my opinion, the best way to deploy your $20k, would be using the BRRRR method/Fix-to-Rent option.

Maybe we need to train and deploy a team to Corpus Christi? 

Another tactic is to subscribe to a private equity fund which pools your money with other investors and deploys the capital into many notes.
