This brings me to now, I've taken this approach and have used my own money in lending, but am also bringing in friends and family to take part in these transactions so they can earn way better returns than with CD's.

You will have a leg up on the language, transactions, inspections etc.  

As others have said, no REI is totally passive, if you find the right group with all venders in place, the investors that I work with find it can be a pleasant transaction.  

This phenomenon not only poses significant risks to property owners and managers but also threatens the integrity of rental transactions.

I opened an account, a Solo 401K IRA and completed the transaction.

Taking a small cut to cover transaction costs and operational expenses is standard in platforms facilitating financial agreements.

Interest only loans allows them to get a goal profit of $500-$600 per month per property.3) Each acquisition would require 20-25% down at an 80-100K purchase price. 4) Closing costs, and the Eric Spofford turn-key transaction fee of 10K would be in addition to the down payment and were not included for the purposes of calculating the cash-on-cash return.

You can find some diamonds in the rough don't get me wrong but if you aren't experienced enough to see red flags in the property/ transaction they can be costly. 4.

This means that sometimes the insurance will be higher than you would think it would be or need to be but be warned; insurance is a "get what you pay for" type of transaction.

I am not in the flipping market but I handle multifamily transactions for buyers and sellers who are very transactional.
