Quote from @Ryan Davies: We have heard of them but have chosen not to close deals through them since we have found better options.

My preferred options are:1. house-hack with a duplex under ARV; live in one unit => renovate => rent the other unit2. buy a SFH under ARV that could be converted into a duplex (preferably adjacent units vs top/bottom) - I'm assuming the biggest challenge with this strategy would be separating the infrastructure for utilities; and costly.

Giving potential partners an option.

The premiums didn’t make sense compared to the other options I found for the two properties I moved off this policy, nor did they align with the rates I have for other properties in my portfolio that are not on this policy.I’ve shopped this policy extensively across multiple companies and brokers.

However, SEP IRA contributions require earned income from active participation in a business or trade.Our goal with posts like these are to increase awareness of all the options that may be available to them, like this one.

Thank you,Jerry Jerry, I recommend getting in touch with an experienced broker who can educate you on all the possible options in the investment space for cash-out refinances.

What about LaZBoy is that a decent middle of the road option? 

@James Enyeart best option is the one giving you the most control.So, see who consider a land contract or lease-to-own.

No, refinancing isn’t an option because of how we purchased the property.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).
