I have matriculated and acquired 4 degrees and work the government.

Hello all,Can anyone recommend the best way to acquire funding with little money or what are some ways that your deals was funded for buy and hold or flip?

If you are able to get 30 year fixed financing, I would lean towards a multi-unit just for the sake of maximizing the number of units you can acquire with your ten fannie/freddie loans. 

The problem with acquiring and rehabbing tax lien acquired properties, I have found, is that during the "barment" period, the tax lien holder cannot legally step foot on the premises or do much in way of improving or securing the property.  

Your line "Expected NOI after proper management: $50,000" is a great highlight since some property owners I know are only in the business of acquiring a big portfolio, and not managing it to give it added value to the tenants and community.

We are in the process of acquiring a small multi-family which will be vacant.

I'm just struggling with trying to maybe offer a meet in the middle deal, vs. my desire to acquire this property at $205K max.  

I would like to set up a Joint Venture fund to acquire poorly manged properties and turn them around.Where do I find JV opportunities to fund these acquisitions?

@Tammy Wise  It is always prudent to be able to make individualistic decisions, however, as you acquire more property you will find that it is easier and more judicial to make blanket policies for ALL your properties so that discrimination does not come into play.

I came here to learn specifically about wholesaling, flipping homes and acquiring rental properties.
