If you want to contribute pre-tax funds, $18,500 (or $24,500 over 50) is the limit contributing 100% of your income.

@Kaliya Nikole I would be happy to chat with you about this as @Doug Pretorius has described has created a nice niche for me and brought me some great Rent to Own deals that I funded myself as well. 

We go really cheap on some things, like paint,  towel/toilet paper holders, and go higher end on things like faucets.. as others have mentioned, it's an art and you have to find your balance.Also... so  many people forget-- this is someone's future home, this isn't a mutual fund/stock, so you need to focus on what things will make your tenants happy! 

And once you have a proven track record, you may be able to work with a local bank to get a business LOC or some other type of loan to fund your projects at even better rates than 8%.

You should also consider language as to what happens with taxes, insurance, escrow funds, etc...

My plan is to put the house up on ththe market in about 6 months and use the overage cash to fund some more deals. 

We would ideally like to work nights/weekends until we had enough funds to support doing this full time.

I find it odd that the title co is asking that I wire funds the day prior to closing to "make sure the funds are present".

Once you do that you could then possibly have funds left over to acquire other units.
