I have a price point in my head (about 20% off list) at which I do think it would be a really good deal.

We've already taken a few online courses and read some books, so we're getting our head around the multi-family syndication business.

It appears the program is heading in the wrong direction again.  

I have a list of maybe 15 note buyers and feel that if it's not an absolute deal killer, one will accept that they get the head of the note and my loan is 100% LTV against the tail.If you have to partial first to build a note portfolio that meets minimum loan amounts for lenders, then you have an order of operations problemThe only thing I can think of here is to write in the partial sale terms that I have the right to take a loan against up to 50% of the UPB on the note and retain the full right to collateralize it for loan purposes, as if I were the sole principal.

.- Most annoying - there could be a slightly crooked or twisted piece from manufacturing that you didn't notice and then installed and threw off the whole floor.

@Ananth Subramanian agree with the other posters that you are in over your head!

Just a heads up - if you have strong relationships with church leadership and are getting into real estate, the YIGBY movement may be a great place for you to work in. 

It's subconscious to me on the internet when it's only a blue head that the person could be fake.I think the forums would be much more effective if verification was required just for this reason. just an FYI Until I could get my wife to show me how to put a picture on BP I did not have one either..

You could explore a home equity line of credit (HELOC).Just have to be careful to NOT get in over your head in debt and go bust!

There are two idea I’m batting around in my head right now to get started on my REI journey – I can do it purely on the investing side and become a private lender or a source of hard money loans to builders/developers (maybe that looks like funding a construction loan collecting interest payments while buying time to better understand the dynamics and build relationships) or I can JV/partner with a builder and get equity (upside on a flip/sale) which would be more hands on.Curious what ya’ll input, what you think is the best route for me to dip my toes into REI given my aforementioned situation and current market.
