You would want to see his license and bond and insurance.

I have to ask, if you have the funding to purchase 6 homes, have you looked into the returns a commercial property could give you?

Frankly, this doesn't sound so bad compared to the return I could get on a 10 year bond.   

Gold, Bitcoin, stocks, bonds, and investing in businesses, are all things people believe will help them generate wealth and protect against a down-turn.

From listening to podcasts and reading some material I've decided that when I do have the funds and credit necessary, I will buy a property with a 203k loan, fix it up, and use the equity to help fund buying other properties. 

Not a big national bank such as Chase, B of A, Wells Fargo, etc.Using a HELOC to fund the down payment may mess up your debt to income.

Does anyone have experience with Close Now LLC (broker) or W Financial (seems to be the funding arm)?

From the money side of thing, it makes a lot of sense since its cheap, highly customizable, modern looking and low maintenance cost due to steel frame structures.Once we are done with the first big project this year, the following one will be simple and we plan to do more with right amount of funding. 

However, unless you are sitting on a ton of capital, I would use flipping to fund your long-term hold acquisitions. 

@Eric Adobo are they unable to get funding approval to buy it right out?
