Then, when something looks odd, you can reference the deep-dive report to better ID it:)

Is the balloon payment the 40k bump at the end you referred to?

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

These are people that you believe would give you a good reference when they come across someone looking to buy or sell.Contact each of these people at least once a month.

Hey @Christopher Morris,I piggyback on some of the others, but I'd connect with a referred lender ASAP to go over your options/budget/pre-approval.

I am going to save your list for future reference.

If there were no risk there would not be a reward of building wealth.

On the other hand, owning rental properties gives you full control and the best tax perks but also requires the most work and risk management.Whichever option you lean toward, always diversify across deals and sponsors, and don’t hesitate to ask for references or do background checks.

Your solution is to borrow the downpayment, as well.This is referred to as "over-leveraging" and it's not wise.

Quote from @Zach Edelman: Should be a list of Bigger Pockets recommended list of Hard Money Lenders to refer to as well/make the search a bit less overwhelming.
