It has the potential to work out really well for you but tax lien investing is a p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e test.  

I run into similar issues as I'm currently trying to raise over $1M for real estate opportunities.

@Ryan Herald  Ya I screw up on the rules all the time.. yes you need to have a pro account I believe and put an add in Market place.but friends and family would be a great play for this... 300k is not much to raise on a 3 mil buy..

@Fred RahbarFlipping one home in a given year would probably not meet the test of "regular and repeated" engagement in a business activity to create exposure to UBIT.  

I have my certification test scheduled for June 27th.

My demand analysis showed there was plenty of demand so I believe the size of the facility will be dependent on how much capital I can raise.

We've all heard about the .5, 1, or 2 percent test, or the rent to purchase ratio.

Sure, you can force some equity by raising rents, but you should purchase based on current numbers, and save any value-add for yourself, not the sellers.Good luck,Troy

You can also stress test your deal by looking at outliers.
