It looks like "Good Egg" is simply an Entity that collates funds, and then invests those funds on your behalf with the actual sponsors/general partners that actually purchase the properties, get the loans, manage the properties and distribute the funds.

We've worked with local banks and been able to finance the three we own without any issues.I don't necessarily know if it's "beginner" investor friendly but you'll learn everything you need in the bootcamp which is the gold standardWe get loans with 3-7 year balloons and 25 year amortization typically

FHA loans didn't contain DOS clauses until 1989, VA loans 1988.  

You could build a new one every 2-3 years and move into it as a primary so the bank would be more friendly with your loan.

We did that for about 3 years until Jeff informed me he'd fallen behind on property taxes, and all of his lenders called the loans due.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

If you are moving from your SFR to another property, then you should be able to get a 5% down loan or even 3% if it's FHA.  25% is only if you won't be living in the property in my experience.

If the lender is licensed in the state you're buying in, then they can do the loan.

I they accepted an offer of $118K from my brother but since he couldn't get the loan, we're starting over.

Home 1 is ideal for a fix-and-flip loan to fund the remaining $90K, which I can help you evaluate options.
