If the deal is good enough (i.e. has meat on the bones), investors usually have no issues obtaining financing via hard money, private money or other lending options.Your experience will likely be similar so I'd recommend spending time/effort on finding and negotiating deals.

I shoot for 3 to 5k per deal, but I got 10k on one because the deal was good enough.

If the property is priced good enough with high cash flow, with enough appreciation potential, without all the trouble, why don't I just keep it.

@Anthony Kelley, I don't consider the $700-$1000 cameras to be good enough either.  

A lender will look at the deal differently from you and decide if it's good enough.

I have a few of those.. my last rentals are all higher end and are rented to white collar professionals.. most as you state just go about their business.One of my tenants .. was having a big party for her friends and was cooking and entertaining and the stove just was not good enough etc etc.. she kept $$$ at me and I finally went on line found a close out stainless steel very nice range that I would put in one of my new constructions..

As long as I'm getting a good enough deal, I don't really care about the additional 5 or 6k.

If the numbers are good enough, my bank allows me to purchase with an 80% LTV on the purchase + rehab costs, and then the title company hold the rehab money in escrow and pays the contractor 

A DBA is good enough.  

It's tough to syndicate because only the very best deals are good enough to leave enough meat on the bone for multiple players.
