Thanks @Cooper MarcusOf course, the threshold considerations are whether (i) you are eligible (i.e. self-employed with no full-time w-2 employees) and (ii) retirement funds in an account that you can rollover (i.e. former employer plan and/or non-Roth IRA that is invested in investments that can be liquidated an acceptable cost).Assuming that you cross these threshold issues, here are some additional comments/considerations:1.

I have use a "cross collateralized loan" where you can use it as collateral toward the down payment of the next home and therefore close prior to selling your home. 

Anyway, I just share that story to say that platforms help with SEO, but one is not really better than the other.

Initially, I joined the Response program which is one of the education platforms.

They think I'm just the landlord's kid getting a sweet deal on rent, and no one's dramas dare cross my bedroom doorstep. 

I'll cross-check it with a real estate attorney, but at least I'll have a solution to propose and have s/he confirm. 

I'm now currently one of the BD team members and assist incoming investors with everything as simple as shepherding their long-time self-managed property/ies onto Mynd's platform, or as complex as assisting in the underwriting process of an exchange, validating numbers and assumptions in value, cap ex, rents, etc... midstream of a deal.  

I cross-collateralized these two properties along with the one the son was purchasing in Pensacola FL.

And then last is cross packaging.

Now, this one may feel like it crosses the line from experience to knowledge, but I promise you it’s not.
