Then keep the speed of money & time moving to make more money in the end.

But the banks pocket that money.

But is that worth the money?

If you want higher growth then Cleveland and Dayton type markets with $100-150k prices may be better suited.I would encourage BRRRRs after your 1-2nd so you can recycle your money.

You'd be surprised to learn that someone living in a rental or apartment, that has a family and is a successful small businessman, has the money and is willing to take that deal.

His family made their money with W2s and the stock market.

The lender may figure if the borrower had this kind of money they’d be making the mortgage payments. 

The other way I fund deals with none of my own money is using a private lender that I have years of experience and relationship with and/or using HELOC and other business lines of credit.

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $250,000 Wish I could have held onto it but needed the money to fund future deals What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?
