I will add that to your question of 10% or 20%, you need to ask yourself whether you need the cashflow or not. 10% down would leave some money with which to buy more properties.

If you learn how to use Hard Money loans properly and how to find good deals in need of rehab, there are plenty of areas of the country where you could buy 3-4 rent properties in solid middle class areas with good cashflow.

Some say we have to buy the house with them or we paid too little for the property and finally after going back and forth and submitting all our paper work and paying for appraisal they now tell us they didn’t realize that the property had so many bedrooms and they said they do not loan to properties with so many bedrooms.

@Makani Donaldson it all depends on your investment goals.If you buy a Class A rental, it'll usually have negative cashflow, which will be hopefully offset with appreciation and better tenants.If you buy a CLass C or D rental, it should have pretty good cashflow because you may not realize much in appreciation and you'll have a lot more problems finding good tenants.

Investors looking for off-market opportunities whether for fix-and-flips, buy-and-holds, or teardown and development projects.

Buy/Hold? 

If you sell for a net sales price of $1 mil and buy for a net purchase price of $700K you will owe tax on the difference of $300K.BP may have a capital gains calculator you can use.  

My PPR note fund investment is a little different in that you can buy some notes from PPR and pay for the PPR notes using your Fund investment. 

To find someone, I’d start by reaching out to local rehab centers or recovery organizations as they often know operators who are looking for housing.

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.
