My business partner had a deal within 2 weeks of deciding to be a REI, and learned on the fly, whereas I am the type to read, ask questions, and ease into it by knowing everything I possibly can first.

If you have equity in the deal (it's worth more than you're paying for it), you may not have to bring much or anything to the closing table.You could also partner with someone who knows what they're doing (with a good track record.)Best of luck.Cheers,-Sam

Kensington is a great neighborhood, incredibly strong rental market, and offers a great deal of upside potential.

I'm looking for US markets that have a low cost to entry (SFR or multi for under $100K per unit/"door") yet have a strong potential for short term rentals.

Two keywords are loans and partners.

Your IRA could partner on the deal with another investor or another self-directed IRA3.

Me and my partner would like to flip a house.

One has to have a strong bs detector in this business, I think. 

I am out of town right now, & will be unreachable for a week but my business partner actually lives in Herriman & could definitely help you out.

Or a very trusted partner.
