Hello BP Community,My partner and I have put in an inquiry on a property that seems like a good deal and we want to go see it this weekend.

The majority of those homes are purchased "Subject To" as my partners and I are building a cash flow portfolio.

Some options are:- Partner with someone- Seek funds from friends and family- Continue to save until you have enough to start on your own- Hard money loans- Owner-occupy a mult-familyThere are a lot of ways to get creative, just make sure you understand what you are getting into before you pull the trigger.

The issue of your partner using a loan/mortgage on This property, as opposed to bringing cash, is another matter which as Jerry said, brings additional risk to you.

@Paul Hector You may want to contact @Michael Dundon , he and his partner are investing heavily in Redford.

PARTNER with someone...just don't DO NOTHING.

@Paul Jamgotch Maybe you could have looked at it in a different light, as a JV partner, and it may have been a win/win for all of you.

That's partnering with experienced wholesalers so that you can leverage their buyers/sellers lists?

Hello all,My partner and I are starting to look at picking up an apartment building, or multi family building.
