They are the two biggest players in the industry and have different approaches.

I guess they could make an example of a top player like yourself  :)  My son in Law trade marked   VEGASBABY in advance of the Raiders coming to Vegas..

Mortgage and more important for most sellers is this remains on their credit and affects their ability to borrow since the mortgage is still open.So when you get under capitalized or just plain crooks ( and I am not calling anyone on this thread a crook by any means and don't know their capital strength as well)But this scheme brings in the less than honest players and the one's will little to no money and a big dream.So know they have control of the asset.. they then either sell again on a contract for deed or another wrap or another sub too.. to what is usually a buyer who can't get a traditional mortgage.. now some of those buyers could be credit worthy but many to most are NOT.. so you are now setting up sub prime borrowers .. these borrowers fail with alarming rates we know that. 

There are so many risks and all it takes is a big player (sheetz/QT) to move in next door or down the street to wash away every merit from historical financials.  

We decided that the Las Vegas market has become to costly and it is not multi unit friendly out side of C/D class properties.We want to develop a quad-plex in Athens near the university, and we have a few questions.1) Does anyone have a site they prefer for house plans?

I would like to keep renting a place in the CD due to its close proximity to my work while purchasing a single or multi to rent out in the surrounding areas.

Identify top notch PM - preferably in house or in close affilation with the turnkey company.Go visit the area and meet with those you are vetting, view properties, neighborhoods, and meet with several players in that market. 

Looking for examples other than setting money aside from primary job, mutual funds, Treasury funds, CD's, existing rental properties, ect. 

Dock,You have had a good bit of information shared here by many different players in our Atlanta market. 

Better off putting that money into a HYSA or CD and get 5+% there.
