I just purchased 2 MFR in Aug & Sep in Carrollton and Sachse respectively.

The highly sophisticated financing system we have established in this country consists of primary and secondary markets.

Some of our town's best restaurants were established by individuals who were passionate, culinary experts with good business savvy.

Would you suggest going the college route or building relationships with already established investors?

Once you hold the deed to the property you have now established a vehicle to cloud the title.

Trying to establish my team.

That said, if you partitioned your available funds, using one part to acquire properties (with conventional mortgages at 2.5 - 3.5%) and the other part to private first and second mortgages (at 8-12%), then you have established an arbitrage which hedges you against the rise in interest rates.My business is in an industry that is extremely volatile and unpredictable.

Possibly Dunkin Donuts and mini mart type establishments.  

I have massive respect for Bigger Pockets and did not intend to cross any lines (especially with my first post.. lol). 

Bare in mind, a large advance where you may be forced to add to the balance due from the Vendee/Buyer would require a modification of the contract, establishing new credit and could also make the asset less affordable for the Vendee/Buyer.
