Both approaches will require going through all the title paper work on each of my properties.However, one bank in north texas is open to a discussion of opening a line of credit on the properties as collateral whereby they would have a lien on my properties (which I currently hold free and clear).

Again, that is a simple statement of fact.For RE investors, I feel that the dispassionate approach that my fellow Marines (and other veterans, to a lesser extent of course) naturally bring to the table is huge.

@Federico GutierrezI have not yet i'm working on getting a consistent amount of deals first before i take on that expense and since my main focus is investors i will probably have a little bit of a modified approach to what my assistant would be doing. how about you? 

Like how people structure deals for raising capital for the right deal, so I can approach my family or friends with an outlined structured deal, telling them how, when they will be getting their return on investment for starters.

Here is what I have figured the right approach is.

On the note of the "emotional side" of the transaction that is quite common not everyone is approaching the real estate transaction from the standpoint of the buyer/investor most times it is an emotional time either because of death, divorce, attachment etc.

Also the fees that are associated with being a real estate agent are very expensive; however being a part time agent can be done, but I recommend that you approach this as a business and before you transition into it have a plan and money to support you until your part time business begins to make money.

It sounds hard to believe but makes me want to think twice about how I approach real estate. 

Can I approach them ?...

My question is there are so many investors here what's the best way to approach asking for help in the down payment area?
