They provide a nice centralized marketplace for syndications, which could otherwise be tougher to find.Now that I know this exists, and due to the fact I’m accredited (so I can invest in all kinds of fun stuff more directly than ownership of a public equity) I am wondering if there are other reputable platforms that facilitate direct investment in other alternative asset classes.

I’m buying into equity and want my monthly payment as low as possible for cash flow.

I want to get some equity out of this house. 

I would guess I have around 40k in equity with the duplex and around 10k in reserves.Do I take out a HELOC and just go buy another duplex and do the same thing?

I'm a fan of Groundfloor for their easy to set up self-directed IRA options which can be invested in debt only deals, avoiding the UBIT and UDFT penalties of equity deals.

I am using equity form another property and the seller is paying my closing costs.

Between mortgage and heloc, I only have about $30k equity in the property. 

I’ve put a lot of time and money into doing so and have built great equity in this property already.

When established in the correct order the Land Trust doesn't trigger the same red flags with the Due on Sale as the direct transfer of a deed into an LLC, and the Land Trust can be created in such a way that your name does not have to appear on public record for the property - you can have your attorney sign for it as a "nominee trustee" until it is formed and then have it pass down to you after the signing is complete.This is a much more flexible system that works at large, but if you can find a bank that works direct and favorably with an LLC that is generally a bit easier (though your name will still appear on public record for that property.)This isn't legal advice, just my opinion as an investor.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I have a question about accessing equity.
