Assuming I find another multifamily that would cash flow, how would you all finance the deal.

@Leah Lowe feel free to connect or message me if you would like to have a conversation 

Does this affect a cash-out refinance or pulling out equity in the form of a HELOC/equity loan? 

If you’re short on down payments, here are a few strategies to consider:Leverage Equity: If you own any properties with equity, consider tapping into that through a cash-out refinance or HELOC to fund your down payments.Seek Joint Ventures: Partner with other investors who can provide the down payment while you manage the property or contribute in other ways.Explore Creative Financing: Look into options like seller financing or lease options, which might require less upfront capital and can be structured to fit your needs.Consider Private/Hard Money Lenders: These lenders can offer flexible terms and quicker approval compared to traditional banks.

They're willing to share it with you for free, so try to find ways to pay them back.

They have very deep pockets, and if you you are looking for them to fund your business and don't mind working for free, they can keep you going until you burn out.

I am considering buying a property in the Myrtle beach area since it seems like it’s an affordable are with good cash flowing properties but it seems like the crime rate is above the national average.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out I enjoy helping and talking REI.

AND it works other wise they would not keep doing it.so A true private lender is someone you personally know or have met who has money in their IRA or other cash but lending is not their business they just make a few loans a year to those close to them. 

So in theory it can't be a LTR if we move out someday, but a lease naming a tenant as "manager" probably gets around that.I've thought a bunch about how to improve the property's cash flow, and there's lots of marketing and operational low-hanging fruit before we get to capital improvements.
