Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

I’m here to network with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and grow my knowledge in real estate investing.

Only an experienced individual or professional should try this.

When you don't have cash, you need to partner with individuals who do. 

A strong partnership is built on trust, shared values, and aligned goals, so it's not something to rush into.I recommend attending in-person networking events to meet like-minded individuals.

One feature that I would love is to be able to see this on the main search page so you don't even have to navigate to an individual listing.

Which option makes the most sense may depend on the individual’s goals and how much time they can dedicate to learning note investing or setting up and running a note business.

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Individuals who bought real estate during a recession have seen their property values and cash flow nearly triple. #2 avoid sowing seeds of failure in the good times - Many investors fail due to investing in prosperous markets.

Most my clients tend to be out of state, high income individuals that are looking for a great return and not looking to spend 200 hrs on the project themselves.
