I spoke with several hard money lenders and they wanted me to have an absurd amount of liquidity/ net worth.

I would love to grab some of the smaller deals that pop up but I really don't want to tie up that much liquid cash.  

I would look for something that has a larger UPB to purchase cost ratio. 

The payback for solar is certainly faster for the larger systems.

Have you liquidated all your stocks and bonds for real estate?

This one is much larger.

If you buy homes that are 6 bed/bath and larger, you start tapping into all the normal, non-vacation travel such as reunions, business travel and meetings, celebrations, holidays, weddings, etc. 

Maybe also do some projections for larger time-frames.2:This question is probably BEST answered by YOUR attorney or CPA.  

You could look at targeting tear downs, small homes on larger lots, or operate more on the fringe of the city. 

Refinancing to lower mortgage payments created another round of liquidity.
