@Wade Sikkink - Agreed, Buildium is expensive, and every year it gets more and more expensive as they constantly raise their prices.

@Brent Coombs, thanks for replying, I have a HELOC but I'll need more funds to for DP and cash reserves to cover multi-fam expenses...Have a great holiday weekend 😊

What's the best way to market these deals to cash buyers / end buyers in the (A to B) (B to C) transaction ?

I'm renting current places at $995-$1100 now and raised rents on a few low apts that are around $800 (raised them $50) most tenants are at around $875, to anyone that's had to do a rehaul on tenants and long term rents how would you guys strategize the raises?

Within a day of joining I had a member offer investor funding.

Are there any fund options that are performing better that you could choose? 

I just need the moolah but I don't want to make a move until I know the best route to funding my first deal.

You can pay him at the closing, usually with certified funds if you do not have a previous relationship with him, or you can simply purchase his agreement prior to closing and you are the party executing.  

In the alternative, instead of funding a 529 plan, you could purchase a rental property now and use that to fund college.
