Currently, I own my primary home and a rental in San Antonio, TX. 

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

Here's the breakdown:Financing: We used a seller carry deal with 25% down ($100k), a 30-year term (balloon in 10 years), and a 4.68% interest rate.

That's a horrendous fallacy and a weak mindset to think that real estate agents are buying the best multis.

I partner with a rockstar contractor and a top level investor friendly agent and if we buy right and nail our numbers, there is plenty to split at the end.  

It may be more difficult to get financing and a good rate buying through an LLC. 

I currently own two properties - my primary home and a vacation home in Truckee we rent out on Airbnb. 

Starting to research Uruguay to invest and as a 3rd country to live in.  

Myself and a friend are looking to get into investing in buying hold single-family homes.

As noted above, a cash deal with all capital liquid in an account today is going to be taken much more seriously than a financed deal or a syndicated deal.  10% EM hard at contract signing and a 45 day close with no extensions will be taken more seriously than 3% EM hard after 30 days, with a 60 day close and 2x 30 day extensions.
