Looking for books relating to seed capital, deal negotiating, success stories in real estate.

So I just dropped 2500 but I am not so sure they all hit yet as my house was seeded in the list and it has not come yet.

It was my job to ask all the questions, get all the info, plant the seeds, then pull all the data on the property (property profiles, comps, etc), put together deal analysis, etc, then provide the package to investors.  

Since that first deal to complete may be many months down the line, it's hard to know how much to use to seed this account.

Then continue flipping and use that $ for down and seed $ for MF either in cheaper areas of CA or in the midwest.  20 years of a little cash flow and pay off mortgages... retire with paid off houses.  

You have to till the soil, fertilize it, plant the seeds and water them before you can pick the harvest.

I agree with Karen, seed it.

Anything requiring establishment (like grass seed, new shrubs, etc.) usually won't work once a tenant moves in as they won't pay for the water needed to keep anything new alive.    

Would much rather accomplish this with 100% independence, but if the seed money is needed I would consider. 

Imagine how many seeds you can plant if you put a 30 year mortgage on those properties, leaving 30% equity in each, taking that cash, and putting down 20-25% on a handful of other properties (or small multi-families) and what those “seeds” would grow to be in a few short years...Leaving homes paid off, in my opinion, are for those who don’t have much life left to live...
