What is everyone's favorite form of creative financing (seller finance, subto, etc..) ?

However, if you filed your rental income under schedule E, then lenders will have to use your the rental calc based on how you filed your schedule E.

Personally I only use my HELOC on short term projects like flips, new builds and BRRRRs where I know I will be replacing the capital within months.You may be better off waiting a year and save up more cash or liquidate your index funds if the returns on a property will be better.

I had a few tenants e-sign 6 documents with multiple pages in a couple minutes and realized they did not read any of it! 

In a syndication you have low control and also limited liquidity. 

Most lenders are going to want to see a few big things from the ownership group. 1) The borrower will be the enitity (LLC, S-Corp, etc) and any owner with usually 20% or more of ownership in the entity will be expected to guaranty the loan, 2) We'll want to see some experience doing similar projects from at least one of the main owners, 3) We'll want to see bank statements showing liquidity enough to cover the intial cash injection (down payment), the closing cost, and some cash in reserve.

Many investors aim to jump straight into turnkey properties or multifamily deals to scale quickly, but the truth is that most people don’t have enough liquid capital to maintain consistent growth this way.

I've looked at PM software and it seems AppFolio is the clear favorite, but it requires a minimum of 50 units to sign up.

While R/E investing is about the same nationally the laws are different in each and every state.

It is by far my favorite place and I would not think to live anywhere else except for short respites to experience other life.
