It isn't like a RE license where you just auto save 2.5%-3% on every property. 

Then, maybe you have some student loan payments, auto loan payments, credit card payments, etc. that are bring your balance sheet down again. 

Hi, I am looking at a 7M deal and can put in 500K which obviously less than the ideal 25-30%.

Ideally would like get an app on my phone, pay once and be done with it....I dont want to pay monthly fee ...It would be good if I could have an access to the transactions not just on my phone but also on my laptop..Is there anything like that?

-Can also pay off student loans or other debts (auto loan, HELOC, etc.) 

Ideally, I'd like to tear down the entire thing, but I'm assuming we need some 2nd form of egress for that floor.

While ideally we would have sold our old home first, that really wasn't in the cards for us.

It doesn’t seem ideal to poor my money into a property that’s not mine, but I’d still like to take an edge in my market.

Ideally, I'd like to house hack with a Triplex or 4-plex.

@Alex JamaelWorking with investors is a relationship business, so take your time to build these relationships (ideally way ahead before you need the money), show your track record, your credibility, references, and of course offer to help them make some money on the side.
