Will look to refi next year and get all our cash back (have 1 year left on generous seller financing)Failure: still battling a tenant eviction industrial property, costing me money (I can afford) but time and my energy (not a great use)A ha moment: just to focus on higher equity slugs into fewer deals, the law firm is #1 for me2025 goal: complete exit, closing Jan 9, keep making offers, grow the law firm with less billables

All you need is the right paperwork/agreements up front.If all you want to do is hand your money off to someone else to invest for you...well...that's a much higher risk isn't it.PS - etrade will allow a person to pick stocks for themselves for a very affordable fee.

But, even if someone was I would imagine the financing terms you can get a mid level furniture store would be much better then a hard money loan anyway. 

@Jonathan Small government actions have led to an unprecedented 40% increase in the money supply, 50-year record inflation, record increase in interest rates, bank failures, credit tightening, CRE recession, housing affordability issues, mobility issues, inventory issues, and massive impacts to the world economies, every investment class, and our families, kids, and friends like never before. 

On the RE side - I own/developed 2,000 residential units across the United States focusing on opportunistic residential acquisitions and development, including student housing conversions and luxury multifamily development.On the startup side - it is a third-party guarantor platform that expands your renter pool, increases rents and occupancy, and ultimately boosts your NOI while broadening affordable housing options for renters.

This is a growing trend in rentals to increase cash flow and help your community with affordable housing! 

I an afford to sit on this property as its in the Yosemite AirBnb hot spot and don't need to do anything right away as its in a killer location.

Section 8  rates (and lower) will also give you a rough idea of what your market rent will be.Yours is an object lesson in the mistake of buying what you can afford up front rather than what is a good opportunity.People just starting out should only buy local, that they themselves can inspect and get a feel for.

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

That’s why I still do most of my own turns even though at one time I had over 30 units and can definitely afford not to.
