Hi,I really doubt there is a Hard-money product out there that will lend you 100% with no "skin in the game."  

HML have their place but Crowdfunding has distinct advantages that John mentioned.

@Jeff Trevarthen We looked at it an a couple of others, but in the end wrote out own (helps that we are originally software geeks) as we needed a tool capable of analyzing deals in Canada.Another product which may work for you is InvestorApt multifamily analysis (www.LincolnSteele.com).  

I'm a minnow see.2-Note returns= vary as well based on goals and product type. 15-20% yields for 1st's(its fine, boring but its mailbox money).

I’ve also launched half-a-dozen digital products and tech startups, including one social network.Digital projects are fun but I also enjoy brick and mortar projects too!

Of the larger banks, Wells Fargo and BB&T have loan products starting at $ 250 k for small apartments.

Plenty of ARM products but only a 15 year fixed.

Developing this skill unlocks your growth. 4) Unless you aim bigger and start with a cross functional team, you won't develop the skills in the business to grow. 5) You need 5 distinct skill sets in your team A) finding deals B) deal analysis C) raising capital D) construction and operating management E) sales and marketing.Some people say "I'm a contractor, or I'm handy so I'll start rehabbing houses".

The contractors card also has discounts and being in the contractors club gets you additional rebate amounts from 1% - 10% depending on the product.

The liability paranoia is a product of gurus and attorneys scaring people to use their services, mostly, but properly run they are another hurdle to overcome.I would not be concerned with a 4 plex in my personal name with better financing, if I were going to have 20 properties, that becomes a business factor.
