If you wish to invest in alternative assets such as real estate you need to find a custodian allowsing that.

Is multifamily going to be the only alternative, or govt provided housing?

@Johnathan CodyWorking with Banks as an investor for purchases and cashouts can be a hassle.The next best option is an alternative financing source.Hard money rates and terms usually 8-12% on rate with a one year loan term.

A good realtor can offer up alternatives.

I see some other websites out there that are doing the similar things as Roofstock but is there any other good ones Biggerpockets community recommend?

But due to my colorblindness I had to take an alternative course. 

Alternatively, with a HELOC, I could buy smaller properties for cash and then use the BRRR strategy.I'm looking for buy and hold (and not flips) and I'm open to investment areas (preferably in the tri-state area but if I can find good cash flow, I'd be open). 

It depends on your current situation, investing strategy, market conditions, and alternate opportunities.

HiI am having a hard time understanding how one should pay himself within a family partnership (LLLP).i have limited understanding in taxation*My accountant advised we have a salary paid by the entity, essentially making us employees.i read that there are some caveats to that, is there an alternative/conventional way to set-up recurring compensation?
