I have purchased one duplex using my own money and am looking to scale but wanting to leverage OPM or low or zero downpayment funding options. 

How often do you use it personally or let friends/relatives stay? 

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

I had a friend arguing with me yesterday Pace's program has high value.

My question is, when you are looking to partner with someone to fund the down payment, what is the best way to find a partner without going to family/friends?

If you haven't already, let me know if you want to look at any cash-out refi options for your short-term rental.

.- Suggest you try to network with other landlords in your area, check MeetUp app and others.Your other option is to hire an attorney, but understand you will have to pay them for your ignorance.

However, SEP IRA contributions require earned income from active participation in a business or trade.Our goal with posts like these are to increase awareness of all the options that may be available to them, like this one.

I feel just as uncomfortable cold calling as I do asking someone to have me talk to their friend that owns a house.

I invest in Boise, ID and do quite a few BRRRRs, LTRs and STRs- varying degrees of success depending on how much equity we can force and the type of back end financing we can find, but the tax benefits are great and it's a rapidly growing market and Idaho is probably the most landlord friendly state in the nation.
