I had a good friend who went into the ATM business back in 2015 did it for successfully for 5 years and sold the business for $2.5MGreat business to show constant deposits as a business and as a SE 1099 or W2 business to help buy real estate.

If everything checks out, they could be a solid option for your first investment deal.

There's so many options but they all do the same thing (more or less).

option D) Ditch hawaii for now and use $2-300k to pay down primary mortgage and use remainder $3-400 ish as down payment on cash flowing $1.5m 10-20plex in Anchorage.  

Just a friendly fellow newbie investor looking to network!

A partner and I began searching, and after coming up empty for 6 months, we were sent this deal by a close friend and ended up closing a month later.

It's great to see the inventory is coming back there are a lot of options out there and I'm feeling excited!

But, there are still deals that can make sense depending on your budget. 

Or like many small in businesses you raise cash from friends family and anyone else that knows loves and trusts you.The other thing I suggest is to make that $27,000 or $37000, or $50000 yourself over the next year. 

I have an option in a 35 acre parcel that I am flipping to one of the major regionals here and its part of a 700 lot project the off sites are about 25 million.
