The best way to jump into buy and hold ownership is to target an owner occupied multi family home with an FHA loan - which means only 3.5% down payment.

Run cost of ownership in those price points so if you found some great deals on $150k houses you can tell them how much will be the mo payment and the after tax mo pmt.

I wonder if this $1M is aggregated across projects presented on a funding platform with different sponsors, ownership, etc.  

With the economy, market and home ownership at it's lowest point since 1965...Yes they have rent but once the home is paid off, if you do it right, it's half of regular rent if you don't want a regular rental, can't get a loan or don't want to pay a ton for a cheap house in CA.A LOT of people are looking for alternatives like @Justin R..

My ultimate goal is to put my blue collar traditions behind me and build true wealth through multi family residential ownership.

It will show the chain of title ownership and all liens and encumbrances against it.  

., Properly constructed DST's and TICs and capital land leases are all different types of ownership products that qualify for 1031 treatment.  

At least to me, it says pride of ownership.

The builder's estimate of return on money after the two years is thus: when refinanced and rented out (builder estimate) an 80-90% return on investment and you would still hold your percentage of ownership.

Kou,Unless you are OK with the possibility of having to close on the property yourself and take ownership of it, be careful about just jumping in and making an offer.
