What you want to do is combine pieces of both of your options together. 

I have a buddy that is in mortgage but unfortunately we are not able to secure deals with his company because most buyers have better financing or cash options and this is taking me out of the game.

Now that I am older and have more options I recently started learning about real estate on youtube and it led me here, BiggerPockets.

@Rebecca Schnur I think you're right to carefully consider your options with Stessa, especially given the importance of security in online financial transactions.

I prefer to utilize a broker lender because they generally have access to more unique loans, however I do know some BANKS or credit unions have inhouse portfolio programs available that don't exactly follow fed guidelines, which may also be good options. 

If I could find a multifamily to househack that may be a better option for 5%.

Secure funding for your flip through options like hard money loans, private investors, or leveraging your home's equity with a HELOC.

Where can I find washer and dryer machines with digital or card payment options suitable for a four-unit property in  Dayton Ohio?

Yes, thinking about that option for our next tenants..

Call a few people who do home inspections and ask if they can recommend someone or google "sewer inspector memphis tn" and you will see a number of options-then look at their ratings.
