Yes, in the end you have to decide whether it's a for profit venture or not, but there are all sorts of ways to mitigate what is an unfortunate thing to have to do as I mentioned in my first post.

Unfortunately, these programs aren't transferrable and are not offered to DIY landlords:(All in all, this PMC gives our entire industry a bad name because they didn't have you sign a Placement Only contract.

I would even venture to guess that it is not a simple letter to the lender or trade that gets a lien release.   

Anybody done one of these deals and gone the DIY-lending route with their LLC? 

I hope to make more connections there to either lend or venture into the PMP space. 

@Jason DiClemente  and since your asking on this forum my guess this is a new venture for you. 

Recently I've seen a massive increase of homeowners rolling up their sleeves and taking on DIY projects either on their primary homes or on their rental properties.

Outstanding, best wishes on this venture. 

Though we spent our lives doing it from the sales & marketing side, we are just beginning to venture into investing.  

If you’re short on down payments, here are a few strategies to consider:Leverage Equity: If you own any properties with equity, consider tapping into that through a cash-out refinance or HELOC to fund your down payments.Seek Joint Ventures: Partner with other investors who can provide the down payment while you manage the property or contribute in other ways.Explore Creative Financing: Look into options like seller financing or lease options, which might require less upfront capital and can be structured to fit your needs.Consider Private/Hard Money Lenders: These lenders can offer flexible terms and quicker approval compared to traditional banks.
