BRRR is slow fyi... you're not going to be able to ramp up that quickly unless you have cash in hand to start out with.With that said, if you over leverage your LTV of the portfolio will be to high and you won't have any equity if the values dip too low.

If any one can help or knows someone who can do a little hand holding for a short time, let me know. 

I know several people who are really good with their hands around here and I'm sure there are tons more so it surprises me that this is an issue. 

It's what he does.The advantage I saw with my 3 commercial loans (on commercial property)  was I couldn't stand reporting my financials to them every year to such a high degree that I paid them off or refinanced them with fixed rate private money from a hands-off acquaintance. 

In @Charles Chang's case the great state of CA is not going to be left at the door holding their hand out. 

The deal requires all cash and since we don't have that much cash on hand, I am thinking of partnering my LLC, and self-directed IRA accounts from my mother, wife and my old 401k.

I've been to two events and have already met and connected with a handful of people. 

On the other hand, I could have sat and complained that I didn't have enough capital to continue to grow my portfolio and only dreamed about the next steps (i.e., that would be 'interested').

On the other hand if I go to google, type in "Biggerpocket estoppel", it'll give you pages of it, with search suggestions on the bottom of the page,  with even more results, search terms related to "Biggerpocket estoppel".
