There are products out in the market now that allow you to cash out up to 75% of current value after 90 days of ownership, no personal income or tax returns needed. 

I felt that my quantitative background can give me a great advantage because I probably spend more time on excel analysing and building models than most agents out there.

Something I did was build my own excel sheet from looking at several different investors who also give out advice.

I am becoming very frustrated with my investor as I continually send good flips her way with excel spreadsheets to back up repair estimates (we own a remodeling company so we are pretty good at figuring it out) as well as CMA's that back up my ARV because I am a licensed agent with access to the MLS. 

For the record, it's not my 1st rental, but I just haven't bought either one using any conventional products.

Excellent.

Otherwise it’s a pretty good product overall.

Odds are the conflicting information is most likely talking about different markets/products/price points/area grades etc.

You need to really figure out what product type and then do a deep dive into the market to see if it is even feasible. 

They can be an excellent partner!
