We are buying new construction in the most desired areas of the market, and buying the smaller properties in the neighborhood, not the big ones.

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

The property is unused most of the year. 

Purchase price: $630,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Completely gutted this property, brand new electrical, furnace, propane, finished basement to create separate unit.New garage with rental unit.

As an owner you're allowed to manage your own properties.  

Also  American association of private lenders is one trade group,Thanks for the response, Chris.

Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

PLUS, you can buy 4-5X as many properties.

Typically, the initial upfront for the rehab is either cash or a high interest loan (hard money or private).
