It’s a long game so worrying about the short term is kind of pointless.

I kind of want to buy a Detroit apartment building - but can’t find a good PM that would touch it.

It’s worth understanding their opinion and sometimes this kind of request means they see more potential in the deals than they’re letting on.

It would be great to hear about any unique experiences that might resonate with the community.It’s fantastic that you’re open to answering architecture-related questions—there’s definitely a need for that kind of expertise here.

You cannot get any meaningful answers until you specify what is your "side gig", how much money it's going to bring and how much expenses it's going to incur, and what kind of expenses.And, as a rule of thumb, unless you clear $50k after all expenses, you probably will not benefit from any entities tax-wise. 

What kind of project are you working on?

Amortization length along with any DSCR requirements comes into play also to determine what kind of down payment requirement you may have to meet. 

Otto, in my opinion the kind of ROI you’re talking about is well worth the “risk”.  

Thank you for your kind and inspiring words.
