For those of you that have good w2 income and want to take advantage of employer matching (100% return!), how do you tap into that money to scale your portfolios?  The way I'm looking at it, if my spouse and I only do...

@Michael Klinger  As others posted, SoFi and Discover personal loans are good options and I've used them in the past.  2-3 business days from application to funds in my checking account. 

You need to evaluate the HOA and its management, with a focus on the reserve account percentages.

Sell the home to whoever your target tenant will be - modern, sleek, urban, renovated, bright/spacious; then sell the location - not whether they have a bank account or need a 7/11 - just that it is located to 'dining, entertainment, shopping, more.' 

But they auto-deposited $50 into my "marketing account."

If your goal is to make money, and you aren't finding deals that you think will do that, there are other things you can do.But more directly to your comment: 1. cap rate does not take into account appreciation.  2.

I took into account a likely cheaper labor rate but will say when we owned units in gulf shores that i was not encountering that low of a labor rate.  

Account Closed 100% they are

It probably won't come close to $150K.Run the numbers if you put the profits into a savings account paying 5% interest and see how that compares
