I'm utilizing a variety of marketing tactics that are inside and outside of traditional REI marketing methods.

I seek to gain a better understanding of "Purchasing & Holding" deals, listen to the success stories of others, and compare notes of the best place to find start-up capital outside of traditional methods such as a bank!

I'm interested in low money down financing to acquire these properties and minor rehab if necessary.Adding a couple real estate positions this year should will give me some tax benefits and add cash flow so I can dedicate more time when I'm ready to do so.I attempted to purchase a 34 unit multifamily this winter using traditional financing.

So, data scientists have traditionally used their knowledge tools on inert data to explain various historical trends.

I don't know the rehab budget on it, but I do know...1) It was purchased with traditional mortgage financing.2) It looked like the kitchen was torn down to the studs, nothing else.

Its a little pricy, but they seem to be one of the only lenders that will lend to an out-of-state 4 unit short term rental building with no long term tenants.My plan is the pull cash out with Better.com and then refinance with a traditional mortgage down the line.Nikki

So, you're using the private money to buy the property and then doing a traditional refi?

I will use 15 year traditional mortgages or the equivalent in private financing.

Truly self-directed IRA's are held by specialty providers with different paperwork and staff training focused on non-traditional assets such as real estate, private mortgages, etc.

The person who inspired me to start investing has a GED instead of a traditional HS diploma.
