I thought it would be a great way to make seed money for my first rental property without having to wait for a large sum of money to fall into my lap (I don't exactly want to be looking forward for family members dying and I want to kick *** and make money on my own!) 

Seeking a source of seed capital for building 3 tiny houses fro quick sale.

Hey guys, just trying to get started with real estate investing and wondering what your thoughts are on using credit cards for financing some of my seed capital costs for real estate investing?

@Jose Guevarra You may want to check out Seed Capital they offer the same type of thing through credit cards.

I am a homeowner but currently lack seed money and am hoping to build a down payment for my first rental property through wholesaling and other means.

Why not seed the lawn in?

What are the terms of your $500k seed capital? 

Sounds like this is not up your alley at all, so you need a local business attorney to guide the two of you, make sure the attorney is representing you.I got into a steel fabrication business by providing the seed money and it was very profitable, but I ran the business side and oversight.Your collateral is everything you can put your hands on, his personal assets and business assets.

Has anyone here used 401k loans to get seed money to get started in invested in SF?

You will see. :D
