Also, if you happen to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash then there might be some other options. 

However, I was speaking with my real estate agent today and they mentioned that I could not offer a "cash" offer if the cash is: 1) Coming from a third party and 2) The cash offer has to come from my approved bank account.

Since the start of the year, I've read a handful of BP books:- Rental Property Investing (Brandon Turner)- How to Invest in Real Estate (Brandon Turner/Josh Dorkin)- Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down (Brandon Turner)- BRRRR (David Greene)- Multifamily Millionaire Volume 1 (Brandon Turner/Brian Murray)- Start with Strategy (Dave Meyer), currently readingI was thinking of using the equity to BRRRR small multifamily properties and combine some concepts from both the BRRRR and Multifamily Millionaire books (specifically making cash offers via HELOC to secure distressed properties, ideally vacant to set market rents).

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Duplex next to another duplex I own.

It's cash flowing really well and I'm hoping to continue doing MTR.

Purchase price: $620,000 Cash invested: $60,000 This investment is a duplex with a 3/2 on the bottom and 1/1 on top.

Based on a CASH sale price we would have received $1,625,000 as a cash sale, less the $615,000 note payoff, or $1,010, 000 CASH,  By CREATING the wrap note, we received $412,000 Cash and the note.  

I also love it here.It will cost $100,000 and we will finance half with a personal loan @ 7% for 3 years.So im putting 50,000 in cash and I expect to earn about $2,000/month.

(Most real estate has lower cash flow than a 5% cd or debt pay down.) 

Purchase price: $58,000,000 Cash invested: $74,000 I am a LP in a group fund that bought three large, institutional properties.
