remember payments may only be 400 a month at best.. 6 months reserves is a whopping 2400 dollars.. so someone theoretically with less than 10k in cash could get into these properties.. this William I personally think is highly dangerous for lender and for buyer... its not losing the 10k that's nothing its getting your personal credit trashed when you can't make the payments because you lost all your cash.IMHO if you want to be in the rental game you need 20 to 30k liquid at anyone time that you don't have to borrower etc.. this will insulate you from taking a loss. as you build units of course its not exponential but you need a base.And since this is not TRUE cash equity only paper equity there is no hope of selling them for a profit or what you have in them..
