I could sell one of my properties (condo) use, that money for flips in Atlanta within the next 1-2 years build up additional funds to acquire an apartment complex, and to grow my portfolio, but I want to hear from some experienced investors and what they would do if they were in a similar position.Current Picture/Portfolio: Property 1: Condo (Atlanta, GA 30328)Current Rent = $1550/MonthUtility Reimbursement = $200-300/MonthHOA $383 (In line with HOA's for other communities) Purchased June 05th, 2015 and resided in property until Jan 22nd, 2017 (Total of 1.64 Years)Lease Started Jan 23rd 2017 and Lease Ends on June 30th 2018.Current Equity 135,000 (Purchase Price)  - 85,000 = $50,000Current Comps Similar Properties are selling for $155,000 to $170,000Current Mortgage Terms: 15 yr Fixed 3.325% Monthly payment of $996 (Includes Insurance and Property Taxes)Anticipated Total Earnings if Sold at End of July $64,500 (Sell Price $155K) to $78,500 (Sell Price $170K)  Property 2:Town-home (Peachtree Corners, GA 30092)Current Rent = $2000-4000/Month (AirBnB) 60-70% Occupancy since November of 2017Purchased July 28th 2017 and currently residing in basement house-hacking with my younger brother.HOA $325/Month Covers, Water, Lawn Maintenance, Sewage, Security GateCurrent Equity 336,000 (Purchase Price) - 265,000 (Remaining Loan Balance) = $71,000Current Comps Similar Properties are selling for $345,000 to $360,000 due to private/public school ratings going up shortly after purchase.Current Mortgage Terms: 30 yr Fixed 4.326% Monthly payment of $1823 (Includes Insurance,PMI, and Property Taxes.)

But that may be for just self-employed individuals.I would suggest reading the BP book, on the no/low downpayment ways of investing in real estate, great book.You can also look into Private loans.Glad to have you here!

If you have no income, why would a bank or private lender give you money?

I'm going to give each unit a private, fenced in rear patio area. 

I spent the last 7 months getting paperwork together including my dual citezenship for Mexico. im finally the owner, bought it at about 12% of the value. were looking for investors to team up with and might have some private money interested in helping us develop.

I just follow my criteria and pivot to where opportunity lies.Follow the down slopes on the graph and you could have this conversation at many points on the way down.

I met multiple private lenders at events/seminars and have potential partners because of the mastermind I'm apart of called M1.Cheers!

This would allow you to save money that you could potentially invest in things like real estate, notes and private companies, however you have the peace of mind that if you need the money, it can be easily accessed.  

This advice is from the homeowners perspective and not necessarily from the real estate investors perspective...that is an entirely new conversation. 

Are you saying you've had three private lenders invest with you to purchase property?
