My property has had a positive cashflow for years why should I have to keep it in my name for 6 months to put it right back into the same business it came from? 

Terms/rates/etc offered for first position mortgages aren't the same as 2nd.

The great thing about BP is you can go back in time and if memory serves me correctly this question has been asked before and people were a lot more positive.

The private money will be in 2nd position on a high LTV deal.

In my opinion it will calm down in the next 5-8 years, at that time I want to be in the best position possible to take full advantage of the market.

I knew I would want to re-position the property and pull equity out, so the penalty didn't make sense.

After some research, I've been seriously considering using a company like, Memphis Invest, as I've found a lot of positive reviews about them, and spoken with a few of their clients. 

My experience was positive; I am sure that the agent made all the difference, regardless of how she came recommended.Of potential interest: A couple of the offers - “insultingly” below my asking price - were from some LPs/LLCs, one of which was definitely a REI arm of a large private equity firm.

Or accordion style blinds that are easy to position in place. 

At 20 with no money, I'd focus o.n your education and save what you can so when you're in a position to take action you're ready
