I partner directly with hedge fund asset managers because they never seem to run out of funds.

This is one of the reasons I'm having such a hard time changing my mental model around investing a lot of money and effort in a non casahflowing asset.

Their goal is usually to put down the lowest amount they can so they can get that asset. 

Since the properties are in your personal name, you are open to more risk as the lender can look to go after multiple assets. 

“They” say never sell… The answer to this question is do you have a better place you can invest this money that will yield you a better return than this asset?

The main thing drawing to this asset class is that I feel I have access to an unfair advantage via no money down VA loans that also don't have PMI.

Rates are coming down right now and a cash out refinance offers additional benefits that a Heloc cannot not offer.Heloc cannot be used as an "Asset" or for PITI reserve requirements when buying another REI.Heloc is an open end mortgage aka debt obligation and can cause DTI issues.Heloc is in 2nd lien position which means you cannot borrower more until you pay off the Heloc.Cash out refinance offers a 30 year versus Heloc typically 15-20 year higher rate.

Below are the financials I've gathered with actual numbers, and rough Deal Analysis.

absolutely the same thing if this data did not exist.Local population demand needs goods and services, industrial product houses those trades and someone will have equity and money to maintain these assets (houses,roads, goods, etc.)

Negotiations led to a groundbreaking deal with seller financing: 0% down, a 5-year balloon at 5%, and an additional $20,000 at 5% interest upon the liquidation of their business, providing a financial buffer during our transition.Equally crucial was engaging the managers who knew the ins and outs of the business.
