The home we found is everything we want and we agreed on a price that gives us $60,000 of equity at closing but I can’t get financing.

If you eventually plan to sell the company, using a surname could be a disadvantage.I'm strongly in favor of descriptive names - names that tell you what the company does. 

We'd plan to live in this property for 2-3 years while we build equity and plan our next move.  

After 2 years of occupancy (VA Loan), refinance and take the equity to purchase a SFH live-in flip and rent out the unit I had occupied.Scenario 3:  1st purchase a 2-4 unit, live in one unit and rent the others.

And leave all equity in my house alone.2- save this same cash still, BUT cash out refinance my current house to leverage 75% of my house which will be 90k give or take depending when this happen.My thoughts: 1- not much to think about as I’m not doing anything other than saving so I’m not leveraging my house’s value to expedite my purchase(s).

I live in Round Rock, Texas where my residence has been appreciating 7% per year, right now I have about 35-40k in equity.

My plan is to refinance my house with a cash out option, I have a decent equity in my house.And use that money to buy my first investment property locally, I live in Houston.The dilemma is my current mortgage rate is 3%, and the refinance rate is 5%, and how good would be start this rental market investments in Houston, I also have the option to buy properties in Las Vegas (Family), but starting as a long-distance landlord might be difficult for a newbie.What are your thoughts or suggestion about this idea?

So I took it upon myself to write a whitepaper with the title "How to Attract Investment Opportunities at Meetup Events".It is based entirely on my own opinion and experiences, so I would consider it a big favor if any of you were to provide me with your feedback for improvement. 

I am currently interning at a real estate firm in Scottsdale, AZ and am learning a lot about private equity real estate investments.

I am looking for investors or equity partners to start some projects.
