I think the shift toward risk-on assets is lowering demand for safer investments like T-Bills, especially as investors look to outrun inflation beyond what CPI numbers reflect.

The market we are in currently is ideal for such but we need the initial capital and assets (rehabbed) to begin execution on the model. 

If you’re seeking a bridge or a hard money loan, you’d wanna ask about credit, asset requirements, loan to value bands, etc. but each loan is a snowflakes for every scenario always different.

My primary goal is cashflow so looking for an asset that works and is also in a growing area.

As lenders, well issue a prequal/preapproval letter if we've analyzed your income, assets (bank and brokerage statements to establish that you have the liquidity to afford the down payment, closing costs, and reserves), review credit of the guarantors, review the relevant experience to ensure that we're not throwing our money away on newbies that are wandering around in the dark, and have put together a reasonable plan of attack for the project.

That is what is meant by slow flip except generally you will use borrowed funds to buy distressed property and sell for more with financing--similar to what some used car dealers do but with an appreciating asset instead.

Some of our owners like to buy value add properties and it is up to us to raise rents, rehab properties, and make it a stable asset.

If you analyze everything right, observe your mentor and take your time to get the right asset, it will be fine.

Investing in both provides some diversification of assets. 

Your estate could still go through probate to determine how the LLC and other assets are distributed.You may be able to record a "transfer on death" deed for your property so it automatically transfers to another person when you die.
