Types of loans that SOME lenders accept are HELOCs, margin lines, Secured second position cash outs loans on other properties, etc.

Higher price points are all things equal better for building equity, lower are better for cash flow flow. 

Of course, assuming you have the equity, credit, etc. 

@Michael Zacharchukstart with a house hackand remember that the goal of a house hack is not to "cash flow" - it's just to pay a mortgage and build equity rather than rent

The question is whether to use the equity or do a HML.

I added value by describing to the seller the positive impact they will have by selling to me vs. a wholesaler.

Yes, that is the original house hacking strategy, but it really only works well if you've built up enough equity over the time you lived in the first one to depart and end up no money in when you refi.

If you rent it and then sublet it you might make some money but you won't be building any equity.

You need to talk with your attorney and tax advisor to determine the best structure for you and your goals.One big positive in LLCs, even though the cost to finance is much higher (more down and higher interest rates), when you get commercial loans, they will no longer be on your credit report.  

Hey Russel,Admittedly, I do not know BAM; I am curious about what is driving your interest in/decision to invest whether its a preferred return or more back end equity, or just tax advantages.The market has definitely put some operators' projects in distress, and it is very unfortunate, but the flip side is that other operators are able to use stabilized financing to acquire these distressed assets.Our operator partners are seeing an almost 20% discount as they are acquiring assets today.
