Not sure how big you're going but you may need to raise money as well (if it's more than 4 units). 

Buy the deals that you can improve to raise value.

It appears they are hoping to attract people that can find deals but don't know how to raise money.

Once guns are drawn or fists are raised, it's already too late for a good outcome.

Would your -$1000 decrease in a  few years as you raise rent? 

@Josh R. there is another option, one that would raise you're ROI too infinite, eliminate that finance rate too 0%, and via reduction in $-expense, increase cash-flow. 

They will help you ensure you don’t accidentally leave money on the table by helping you study your competition and by raising or lowering your rates so you can compete better.

If you want to buy real estate and can't come up with the down payment funds there's two approaches:  (1) save up until you can afford the down payment; or (2) raise LP capital*.

In 2020 I bought my first house 3 bedroom 1 bathroom and a 2 car detached garage for $175,000 and put a 10k downpayment on it and interest rate was 3.5%, in 2023 I decided to rent it out for $1350 mortage was $1106.62, in 2024 we raised the rent to $1450 and our mortage currently is $1144.76- I never put into account repair expenses, Capex, vacency until I read on rental investment properies book.

Thanks for raising that Evan, it's interesting if true.
