BAM and Praxis have definitely managed the situation better at this point in time. 

I'll tell you how we do it here at CrestCore, and this is the case in many situations.

Was there a situation you encountered that deterred you from self managing?

@Chris MagistradoRefinancing could be done in certain countries and situations. 

Probably way to much for your situation but there were many good suggestions in the thread.

It was at that point that we decided to pay a bit more and put more money into our deals for properties that only needed cosmetic upgrades or maybe a few weekends of work vs. rehab projects.Again everyone's situation is different and for those who have more time then money this strategy might not be best. 

Obviously every situation is unique it's on you to check with your intermediary and lender to determine what price range would be realistic to start looking for deals in before it closes so you are ready to roll. 

Stock Market = Multi-Unit Property = Established Business = Payoff rentals = Hard Money Lending = The ideal situation is too invest in the item that will get you the highest return and lowest level of difficulty / time spent.Best of luck

I use credit cards, write checks, and pay in cash.Each situation can dictate the payment type. 

But In your situation you could purchase the SFH for most of your cash.
