ok thanks. i just wanted to clarify. because the person i heard this from was at a class about being a "raiser" to raise money for a loan or for a fund. and they were talking about raising money from accredited investors opposed to non-accredited. and the requirement to be accredited was that you needed to make $200k or more for 2 consecutive years in a row. and then the class also mentioned some things about refinancing certain deals. so i think this person was getting something mixed up and confused and combining the being an accredited investor with the refinance part. and i was trying to tell them that i think they are misunderstanding but they kept telling me i was wrong.any other responses / answers would be great.

I am hesitant to pull the trigger due to my lack of knowledge on funding sources.

Your bookkeeping system can tag income and expenses with a property ID or use subaccounts to keep track of income and expenses by property.Since you are a sole proprietor, there is no issue with co-mingling funds and using the same checking account for both personal and rental activities, but, it is much simpler for record keeping to have a separate checking/savings account for the rentals.I have charged stuff on my personal credit card for my rental properties, because I get "rewards" for my charges.  

I just bought the package from grantfundingexpert.orgI know there are grants out there and funding.

It would be great to hear how other investors made/make Hard Money funding work.

These 2 are "house for sale to be moved" and we will have them moved to our property to connect to existing utilities, rehabbed, and rented as 1 bedroom efficiencies.It is my desire to switch to real estate full time.

We have reasons to be a C corp (foreign investors etc).I've been looking to get into real-estate investments for a while and have had issues with initial funding.  

Personally I would invest in a fund with an 8%+ preferred return with equity split that pushes the realized return to double digits before I would pay off that debt.
