The ideal ways to invest in a fund, and then you are instantly diversified into hundreds of notes.

Preface - I'm not looking for crazy instant cash flow.

I've seen annual and semi-annuals but nothing that mimicked the monthly "payday" you get from rentals.

These properties are already furnished and we can come in with a lower offer to have instant equity at closing. 

Matt  my surfer dude buddy.. this is simply post GFC were the mantra is cash flow is king and appreciation is luck .. and well many many people believe that.. or cash flow is the only thing and appreciation is gambling... but if I look at the biggest hits of my career its been on Non cash flow assets IE NO cash flow or negative but multi million dollar paydays. 

Similar to Mr Burke, some red flags instantly went off for me.

This is definitely a long term strategy, but for those sitting on a lot of capital it might be worth bleeding for a little now to get a big payday later.

At the very least you'll get a great handle on the market so you'll know a good deal instantly . when it appears.4.

You will have instant equity and higher cash flow.
