My goal is to purchase a bigger home with my finance in the next year or two (thinking around $400-450k single family home).

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

Purchase price: $600,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Contributors: Michael Ablan 10-unit, multi-family property in an area I already invest. 8 of 10 units have been interior rehabbed.

Will be purchasing a 4plex next year which needs roughly 80 to 100k down payment. 

I believe Norada offers some type of warranty or rent guarantee program where Roofstock most likely does not so once you purchase and close they are out of the picture. 

I purchased four installment payment contracts on contracts for deed.

That ensures you don't spend it on other things and know exactly how much you have to spend on the next purchase.

Small multi family is generally the most attractive asset class for out of state investors here as it provides a nice balance of cash flow with reasonable purchase price

Do you know if this is for one time use only or can I purchase it once and use it as needed?
