If you are interested in figuring out a great strategy to best deploy your 1031 funds I would be happy to share more information with you.The most popular markets for our investors are Memphis, Little Rock, OK and TX! 

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

That probably means a small investment from friends and family or a partnership where you do almost all of the work for a small share of the upside.

I'd love to see some actual numbers for flipper's careers, and the formulas for expected returns if flippers are willing to share them.

I love talking with investors, sharing values, discussing their wants and needs, helping them fully understand what they’re investing in and helping them achieve their passive income goals is very rewarding.

I have a list of local wholesalers and lenders that I work with and i will be happy to share them with you if you send me a DM with your email address. 

Another trick from investers I’ve worked with is chatting up folks at local meetups who’ve recently navigated the same municipality.. they’re often happy to share how fast or slow things move.

On the other hand, since we're a smaller PUD, our assessments may simply need to be higher since there are fewer cabins sharing the costs.    

Happy to connect and share ideas!

Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.
