Another punch was thrown late Monday in the ongoing fight over where in downtown Rochester to locate a $600 million photonics center: the SUNY Polytechnic Institute announced the headquarters will be located in the former Bausch & Lomb building."

I would imagine a cash out refinance would work but I am curious to see if others used this particular strategy or if this is even possible through financial institutions.  

Wholesaling is a great way to start out in the industry and surprisingly I find myself participating in wholesaling even though that was not my intent recently but turned out to be a blessing!

I began following the"creative investing" forum and it is unreal. ..literally, unreal how many people ask about private money,  i.e. hard money (for those of you who don't know hard money is financing from a private party other than a financial institution). 

Will be looking forward for your participation on the forums sometime soon.

I would like to gauge the interest of the BiggerPockets community on a new Single Family Rental (SFR) Investment fund idea.As we all know the Single Family Rental market is on the rise and can be very lucrative for both small and big investor alike.We've all seen the macroeconomic trends shifting towards a bigger and more stable renter society, and we all know that Wall Street now has anappetite for the SFRproduct with more than 4 public REITS focusing in the space.We createdwww.Property-Pool.com given the changes in the Securities laws, with the idea to give investors the opportunity to participate in the SFR space like an Institutional player but without the need of spending the time/cash to do so.We, ourselves, have been operating in the space for more than 6 years and now we are offering accredited investors the chance to join our funds with lower minimum investment than other private funds.Any feedback from investors who are always looking and comparing different options would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Daniel Sultan

@Tyson Hartley & @Mitch H.Generally the income qualification for the loan would be decided by the lending institution.
