It can come from a personal investor who will negotiate terms, or potentially a piece of the equity.

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

My wife and I plan to purchase a few properties ourselves, but with the lead generation strategies I’ll be implementing, I expect to come across more deals than we can personally handle.That’s where you come in!

I warn people over and over and over to know what they are buying and to go personally see what they are buying. 

@Jerry Chilimidos I am not a CPA owever my understanding is any loans to your IRA can not be personally guaranteed.

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

they're not magic.are you going to in-person / informal meetups? 

I also have personal W2 income, if that matters.Is there a loan out there for a set-up like this at 15% down? 

Real-life reps, to me, means seeing properties in person, whatever your asset class. 

what kind of investment was/is this  a little more detail may protect others if you think this person is a financial predator.
