Another option is to have your entry way onto your property at the very beginning and not all along the road. 

The cash you get form either of those options helps to cover the down payment on future purchases.After you have purchased a few homes and have a good chunk of change you can get into 5+ units and start using DSCR to buy apartment style homes where you can focus on affordable living options and things like section 8.

Also, since there is a huge gap in the industry in teaching people how to understand development and the different options we've launched an education arm to help bridge that gap so it's not just the "big guys" with deep pockets that can be a developer. 

And once in a while there is a DST that is offered with an option to essentially have a % of your cash returned to you at any time much like a refinance. 

I am not familiar at all with subject-to but is that an option here?

While Newark may have potential, Columbus offers a broader range of options and stronger growth prospects.

If you're doing MTR or STR, furnished is the only option. 

Click on that and you should see the options to preview it in VRBO or Expedia. 

( I don't want to get too much into the weeds and possibilities of other options that may be available, so I kept this question very simple for feedback)

Yes it is a viable option but it is very different than 2008 and also very different pre covid.
